1 Checking Account Workbook By:

2 Opening a checking account: One of the safest and easiest ways to manage your money is through a checking account. When you open a checking account make sure you have the proper forms of identification, such as driver s license and social security card. By having a checking account you can avoid carrying large amounts of cash by simply writing a check or using your debit card. Deposits or credits to your account are when you add to the current balance, some examples of deposits are cash, check and direct deposits. Withdrawals and debits are when you take money out of your account by using an ATM, debit card or writing a check. Many stores have technology to directly withdrawal funds from your account when you write a check or use your debit card. Some stores send through an authorization which places a hold on the funds until the withdrawal from the account is complete. Most financial institutions are on real time, so there is not a delay but if you mail in a check or use bill pay online to pay bills it might take a few days to be deducted from your account. Account Types: Checking accounts, simple right? WRONG, there are so many different types of checking accounts how do you know what type to get? Some things to consider when choosing a checking account: Minimum Balance Restricted amount of withdrawals Monthly Service Fees Dividend or interest rate Determine how often you will use the account, if you will use online banking, mobile banking, bill pay, debit cards, ATM and direct deposit. Many financial institutions may charge you for these additional services so if you know what products and services you will use it will make choosing a checking account easier. Gather information from three different financial institutions, including at least one bank and one credit union. Compare and analyze your results.

3 How does this all work??? Deposit/Credit Let s start with how we make a deposit. Now that you have a checking account that fits your needs you need to put money in it. The most common way to deposit money into your checking account is with cash, checks or direct deposits. Cash is usually the easiest and safest. If you deposit a check the financial institution may need to place a hold on the check depending on the type of check and amount. For example a personal check that is written for a large amount could be placed on a hold by your financial institution for the maximum amount of days allowed by Regulation CC. Placing a hold on the account for the check presented does not guarantee payment of the check. You are responsible for repayment of the item if returned. You can also set up a direct deposit from your employer so your payroll with automatically be deposited into your account. When you make a deposit you should fill out a deposit slip so the person processing your transaction knows exactly what you are expecting them to do. Checking Account Deposit Ticket Deposits may not be available for immediate withdrawal. Date: Cash Checks Dollar Cents Sign on line above only if cash is received Total Deposit Less Cash Net Deposit Endorsing a check The reason you endorse a check is to either deposit it or to sign it over to someone else. When endorsing a check, you turn the check over, and sign it on the back of the check. You should sign your name exactly the same way it is written on the front of the check. Once you turn your check over, place it so it faces up, like this: Wait to endorse the check until you get to your financial institution. If that is not possible write for deposit only and below that your signature.

4 Withdrawal/Debits Now that you have money in your checking account how can you get it out? You can do a withdrawal from the financial institution or Automated Teller Machine (ATM), write a check or use a debit card at a merchant as a Point of Sale Transaction. ATM s allows you to do simple transactions such as depositing or withdrawing money from your account. ATM s are easy to use but you have to be aware of fees. The ATM service provider may charge you a fee along with your financial institution so it s important to find out how to avoid these fees when choosing a financial institution and type of account. When using an ATM, be aware of your surroundings, make sure no one is watching you put your pin number in and be sure to take your receipts and money. If the ATM looks suspicious or not safe use a different machine. Writing a check is another way you can get money out of your account. By writing a check you are giving your financial institution a command to pay that amount of money to the person you wrote it to from your account. When writing a check be sure to : Write clearly and neatly Always use ink Sign your name consistently the same Do not use nicknames when writing or signing a check If you make a mistake VOID the check by writing VOID large on the check and shred Draw a line after the name of the Payee & written amount. This is done to prevent alterations, such as adding a Payee or an amount. This is a sample of a properly written check: Steven Jacobson E.

5 Debit Card transactions also known as Point of Sale Transactions will come directly out of your checking account unlike credit cards that you get a bill for later. Typically debit card transactions have a daily limit so if you are making a large purchase, the transaction may not go through when you try to use your card. There are two ways to process a debit card at a merchant, either as a debit or credit. What is the difference? A debit card can be processed as a debit, you are required to enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN) for each transaction. You are potentially less protected using a PIN than if you process your debit card as a credit. Processing a debit card as a credit will require you to sign for the transaction. For the store the difference between debit and credit is typically a fee. Some companies may be charged less by the companies which process their card transactions for running cards as debits, so if you are visiting a small, locally owned business, you may want to consider selecting the debit option as a courtesy. Most large companies do not give you the choice on the screen but ask the cashier and they will help you process the transaction as a credit. Make sure you are protected for fraudulent activity. Check with each financial institution on their policies and procedures.

6 Keeping Record- You should keep a record of every transaction you make, whether that is a deposit or withdrawal. Online banking has helped people balance their register but it is important to keep a written record. Check Description of Date Number transaction Debits(-) Credits (+) Balance 101 9/1 Joe s Construction Co ATM 9/5 Cash Debit card 9/5 Abercrombie- clothes /7 Payday /9 Element-phone bill Debit Card 9/10 Best Buy-new ipod Debit Card 9/10 The Store- Gas What if Joe doesn t cash his check until 9/20 and your balance online says you have ? This is why it is important to write down all your transactions!!! Say you looked online and saw you have so you pay your car insurance with your billpay online in the amount of You balance online now says and Joe now cashes the check, your balance now is Balance your monthly statement when you receive it in the mail or online as an E-Statement. Any discrepancy needs to be reported within 60 days of receipt of the statement. If you need assistance contact your financial institution. Charges may apply. Now, let s practice
