What Is a Checking Account?: A checking account is a deposit account held at a financial institution that allows withdrawals and deposits. Also called demand accounts or transactional accounts, checking accounts are very liquid and can be accessed using checks, automated teller machines, and electronic debits, among other methods. A checking account differs from other bank accounts in that it often allows for numerous withdrawals and unlimited deposits, whereas savings accounts sometimes limit both.
Checking Accounts and Banks: Many banking institutions offer checking accounts for minimal fees. Traditionally, most large commercial banks use checking accounts as loss leaders. A loss leader is a marketing tool in which a company offers a product or several products below market value to attract consumers. The goal of most banks is to attract consumers with free or low-cost checking accounts and then entice them to use more profitable offerings such as personal loans, mortgages, and certificates of deposit.
However, as alternative lenders such as fintech companies offer consumers an increasing number of loans, banks may have to revisit this strategy. Banks may decide, for example, to increase fees on checking accounts if they cannot sell enough profitable products to cover their losses.
Tracking and Correcting Your Data:
Under the FCRA, you have the right to ask the bank or credit union which of the two verification systems they use. If a problem is found, you will receive a disclosure notice, likely informing you that you will not be able to open an account and why. At that time, you can request a free copy of the report that was the basis for your denial.
