Simple Steps for Getting the Most of Your Checking Account

A checking account not only provides a safe location for your hard-earned money, but, it allows you to stay on top of all of your finances. Many features are considered to be standards with checking accounts. These features have the capability of aiding in the endeavor of managing your cash and obtaining control over your money. In this brief guide, we offer you several simple steps for getting the most of your checking account. Follow these steps today for effective money management:

Checking Account Tips

  1. Typically, a checking account will come with a debit card. These handy cards allow you to access your account in a secure and highly convenient manner. By using the debit card that is included with your account, you can avoid the hassle and expense of ordering checks and/or having to carry cash on your person. You can use your debit card at millions of locations – including ATMS where you may make withdrawals and/or transfers.
  2. When you have a checking account, you should also sign up for a savings account. Then, you should link those accounts. If you want to save money, you may actually set up an automatic deduction to be pulled from the checking to go into the savings account each month. If the accounts are linked, you will be able to exchange cash between them.
  3. You may track your spending by using online and mobile-based banking applications. This will allow you to know where your money is going and even pay bills electronically. It does not matter where you are in the world, if you need to send money or you need access to money, you can have it with your checking account.
  4. If you are employed, one of the best ways to get the most out of the checking account that you have is to set up a direct deposit. You will not have to worry about cashing your check. All of the money that you earn will be placed directly into your account in a safe and secure manner.
  5. Finally, you may use protection services on your account. These services will monitor your account for suspicious activity, fraudulent transactions, and credit monitoring (in some instances and available in most financial institutions).

As you can see from the steps outlined in this brief guide, there are several little things that you may do in order to get the most out of the checking account that you own. If you do not have a checking and/or savings account, we are standing by here at Somerville National Bank. Not only do we offer many benefits to our account holders, but, we also offer a large assortment of loans and other financial services.
