Learn About Checking Accounts

We've created an educational booklet that offers important information for first-time checking account holders, life skills learners, new arrivals to the United States and can serve as a refresher for anyone who writes checks.

Checks are a hot topic in the media today, due to changes in check conversion and processing. While Check 21 and back-office check conversion don't impact how you write a check, they do impact the way they're processed. They affect how debits and credits appear on account statements and can make managing your checking account simpler.

Tips for Using Checks:

• Use a checkbook register to help keep track of your money and spending.
• Monitor your monthly statements to look for potential fraud or unknown entries.
• Select a fun check design to express your personality in an inexpensive way.
• Find the check format that fits your needs and simplifies your recordkeeping.
