Purpose of Checking
Accounts
1. Why do people have checking accounts? The main reason
for having a checking account is that no one wants to carry
all of their money in cash. It also makes paying your bills
easier and allows you to purchase things online.

2. What are 2 ways to make payments with checking accounts?

You have to swipe your debit card at a store and then they
ask you either debit or credit. If you say debit the money is
charged to your account immediately, but if you say credit
you are charged the amount after a few days. If you
purchase things online they work as either or it depends.

1. Checks can be used for a lot of different thing. The first thing
that
