how much money do you plan to save/use in checking.





most have a montly penalty if you go under a certain amount (usually about $200.00.





their are others that give you interest by keeping roughly $2000.00 in the bank at all times.





you need to think of how much your depost will be


how much money you will be paying in bills monthly


and approximately what you will plan to keep in the bank





then find out which account will suit you better.





You may also look in to an option of a savings account that is attached to your checking. If you happen to go over in checks they can transfer it from your savings to prevent any overdraft fees.

Reply:Free checking....no charge for writing checks, no charge for deposits, no minium balance. They may charge for the actual checks from the printer...that's what to look for..some even offer a small percent on balance in account after a certain amount. Most important..check the monthly statement the day you get it..balance the account the day you get it.
