A checking account is a deposit account that allows you to easily make withdrawals, deposits, and fund transfers. Also called demand accounts or transactional accounts, checking accounts can be accessed using checks, automated teller machines (ATMs), and electronic debits, among other methods. Many consumers use checking accounts to pay bills, write checks, make debit card transactions, and transfer funds electronically to other accounts. They are often used to keep money for short-term expenses.

Did you know that regulatory change increased the availability of the money you deposit? Although not common, our bank can place holds on deposits to protect against fraud. Regulations require certain minimums at which the money must be available. The “next day” threshold increased and the special exemption threshold increased $525. These new thresholds have been in place since July 1, 2020.
