The 5 Basic Types of Bank Accounts
Not sure which account is right for you? We break down the basic types of accounts right here so you can make an informed choice:
1. Savings Account
This is the simplest type of bank account and, frankly, everyone should have one. You can deposit and withdraw cash while you receive interest on the money you save. However, you typically won’t be able to use checks or a debit card with these accounts.
2. Standard Checking Account
This account lets you write checks and use a debit card, but it doesn’t usually offer any interest. It may also limit the number of checks you can write.
3. Interest Bearing Checking Account
This type of checking account offers more options, often including unlimited checks. It also gives you interest on your deposits, but may charge a monthly service fee if your balance gets too low.
4. Money Market Deposit Accounts
If you have one of these accounts, the financial institution will make short-term investments with your money. You’ll typically make more interest with these accounts than with a checking account, but you’ll also need a higher minimum balance. This account may also restrict the number of checks you can write.
5. Certificates of Deposit
With this account, you agree to withdraw nothing for a specific amount of time. While the money stays untouched, it accumulates interest at a higher rate. If you withdraw money from the account before the agreed upon time, you’ll pay a small penalty.
