Checking Accounts

Definitions

Checking Account: The "main" account where you money sits at the bank - checking accounts generally don’t pay interest.
Check – a bank issued paper agreement to pay someone, which you fill out and give to people.
Direct Deposit or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) – a transfer of ‘money’ where digits just move directly from one account to another. Fast, efficient, and more common than ever.

Definitions

Insufficient Funds (INSF) – When you write a check or run a debit transaction and don’t have the money to cover it, it may be rejected by the bank for insufficient funds. Usually, this adds a fee to your account.
Overdraft Protection – an online loan account that covers checks (with interest) when you don’t have enough money in the account. Usually limited, and may be expensive.
Maintenance Fee – what the bank charges you to keep your account open.

Definitions

Check clearing – when a check is given, it takes time to process and ‘clears’ when the bank gets it
Check Register – paper document/book that you track your checks in. Used before on-line banking became common.
Deposit Slip – the document you fill out to deposit cash into your account.
Joint account – an account with two or more people – all of whom may write checks, take money out, and do “stuff” with the account

Example 1

Jackie deposited a $865.98 paycheck, a $623 stock dividend check, a $60 rebate check, and $130 cash into her checking account. Her original account balance was $278.91. Assuming the checks clear, how much was in her account after the deposit was made?

Deposit means she added money in to her account.

865.98 + 623 + 60 + 130 + 2789.91 = $4468.89

Example 2

Gary and Ann have a joint checking account. Their balance at the beginning of October was $9,145.87. During the month they made deposits totaling $2,783.71, wrote checks totaling $4,871.90, paid a maintenance fee of $12, and earned $11.15 in interest on the account. What was the balance at the end of the month?

9145.87 + 2783.71 - 4871.90 - 12 + 11.15 = $7056.83
