Savings Accounts : open a bank account

It's time to open a bank account, but you may be unsure which bank to choose. Of course, the right bank depends on your needs and circumstances. To help you along, let's review some common factors in how people decide which bank to choose. You'll get some ideas, rule out what's not important, and know for certain which bank to choose.

What Do You Need Today?

The decision on which bank to choose usually comes down to an immediate need. If you move to a city and need a local bank for depositing paychecks, you'll probably just pick the bank that fulfills this need with the least amount of effort.

Other Factors

However, you should look at other factors when deciding which bank to choose. A lot of your financial life will revolve around your banking relationships, so it pays to do some research up front.

What Most People Look For

Besides looking at your needs in a banking relationship, here are some common factors that people consider when deciding which bank to choose:

  • Geography - what's close or convenient for opening an account and going to the branch?
  • What bank did Mom and Dad use, and who do my friends use?
  • Is there a credit union or bank that my employer uses or promotes (and maybe has a branch on site or has employees visit the worksite)?
  • Savings Rates - what's the best online savings account rate?
  • Teaser Rates - who's got a nice teaser ad in the paper for CD's?
  • Loan Rates - who can get the best deal on my mortgage or auto loan?
  • Who's got the best fee structure for whatever my banking behavior is (lots of ATM use, for example)
  • Free checking is popular for people getting their first checking accounts
  • Customer service - are the employees nice? Do they annoy you and constantly try to sell you things you don't want or need?

So you need to deposit a check. It may be the first time, or it may have been so long that you forgot how to deposit checks. Make sure you know your options, including where to go, where not to go, and how technology makes it easier to deposit checks.

Where to Deposit Checks

The best place to deposit checks is at your bank. If you don’t have a bank account, now you have a reason to open one. If your bank is far away, you can just mail the checks in, or you can use an electronic tool to get the job done.

What’s Needed to Deposit Checks

You generally submit a deposit slip when you deposit checks. This slip tells the bank who you are, what your account number is, and how much you’re depositing. It helps make sure that the money gets into the right account. However, if you’re lazy you can sometimes just write your account number on the check and they’ll get into the right account.

Do you need to sign or endorse each item when you deposit checks? If the check is payable to you, you generally don’t need to sign it. However, if you want to be safe, you might write 'For deposit only to account #####' on the back of the check.

Deposit Checks at the ATM

For convenience, some people deposit checks at ATMs. You usually have to use your bank’s ATM, but it is more convenient if you can’t get to the bank during business hours or if there’s a long line to see a teller.

Drop Boxes

Similar to ATM deposits, you can deposit checks at a drop box. Your bank probably has a drop box by the front door that you can use after hours. They probably have a stack of deposit slips right next to it, so you can do everything you need without waiting to see a teller.

Stop Depositing Checks

One way to make life easy is to stop depositing checks altogether. Is there a way to have the money sent directly to your bank account? Ask your employer if you can sign up for direct deposit. Many financial and government payments can also come via direct deposit.

Electronic Tools

If you get paper checks, you can sometimes use electronic tools to help you deposit checks more quickly. Remote deposit capture is a way to instantly get a check into your bank’s system, and businesses use it every day. Some banks even allow consumers to use the service.

Your bank might also allow you to get a 'head start' on check deposits. You enter information from the check online, and then you have a few more days to get the check into the bank. Your bank may make a portion of your deposit available to you more quickly, and they’ll release the rest of the money once the check clears.

Where Not to Deposit Checks

Banks are the best place to deposit checks. You might be tempted to cash checks at more convenient places such as payday loan shops. If you do so, you’ll pay dearly. Fees at payday loan and check cashing shops are extremely high, and it’s worth your time to find a bank that fits your needs.

Photo checks are bank checks that allow you to put an image on them. You might want a picture of your smiling face, or you can use a photo that expresses your identity. You can either order photo checks from a printer, or you can print them yourself. Find out how to get your own photo checks.

How to Get Photo Checks

There are 2 ways to get photo checks:

  • Order them
  • Print them yourself
The easiest way for most people is to order photo checks. Prices online are reasonable, and you don’t have to mess with special ink and paper. You can order photo checks from services like Unique Products.

Photo Checks With Your Face

Some people want to customize checks with a photo. If you’re in a sales profession, photo checks can help establish your brand so that others remember you.

You might think that the checks are more secure. Wouldn’t it be harder to write a check against your account if the thief looks nothing like you? With a small head shot next to your name and address, it would be harder to get away with at the checkout counter.

Just remember that somebody can get plain checks printed (that don’t have your photo) as long as they have your account information. Now, if you lose your book of photo checks, you are correct that it’ll be harder for a thief to use the checks. Then again, they may mail checks in and it won't matter anyway.

Expressive Photo Checks

Some people like photo checks because they’re fun. You can put a picture of your dog, your favorite sports activity, or a special place on your checks. The image can fill the entire background of your check.

Artists and creative types enjoy putting their creations on photo checks as well. It’s a way to share your work, and it may lead to new customers if somebody likes what they see on your check.

A good checking account is important. You’ll send thousands of dollars through your checking account, and you need to make sure it’s the right one for you. The wrong checking account will leave you with less money, and mistakes can cause headaches. Learn the basics and where you should open a checking account.

Why Use a Checking Account?

A checking account is a payment account. You have easy access to cash via checks, debit card, or online bill pay. Your checking account should only hold money that you intend to spend quickly - so look for a checking account that best meets that need and ignore any other fluff.

Where to Open a Checking Account

Almost any bank or credit union offers a checking account. Check with your existing bank to see what they offer.

Investigate an online bank checking account if you’re web-savvy and want to earn a little interest:
  • ING Direct Electric Orange Checking Account
  • Online Checking Account at HSBC
  • Online Banking 101
If you want to earn more on balances in your checking account (and you’re willing to jump through some hoops), look for a "reward" checking account in your area.

Using Your Checking Account

If you need to go back to basics, make sure you know how to use your checking account. Mistakes can be costly and time-consuming.

Fund a Checking Account

How do you get money into a checking account? The easiest way is to have it show up electronically with direct deposit. You can also deposit checks to your checking account so you always have money to cover payments you make.

Too Little Money

You may run out of money in your checking account, and you should know about the alternatives and consequences. Ideally you'll balance your checking account so the problem never arises. However, you might use overdraft protection in your checking account just as a safety net.

Paying bills is rarely fun or easy. However you can use free bill pay services to make life a little easier and avoid mistakes. Let’s cover a few of the best free bill pay options and how you can use them.

Your Bank

The best option for free bill pay is probably your bank. If you have a checking account, it’s likely your bank offers online bill pay. You can set up a list of payees and have your bank send checks (or electronic payments) to service providers. If you’re looking for free bill pay, start at your bank.

If you use this option, you’ll most likely have to manually enter or approve each payment. This helps you keep tabs on your bills so you know where your money goes.

ACH Payments

If you want a system that doesn’t require any action on your part, you can set one up. Most service providers offer free bill pay by pulling money from your bank account each time a payment is due. To set this up, you provide bank information and give them permission to take the money.

This route takes less work each month, but you give service providers access to your bank account. They may accidentally take too much, or they may pull funds at a bad time - when your account is temporarily empty - resulting in overdraft charges. Make sure you have overdraft protection if you use this option.

Free Bill Pay Services

Several personal finance software providers offer free bill pay, but they usually aren't "free". You may need a premium subscription, or you may only get free bill pay for a limited time.

MyCheckFree is a truly free bill pay service allowing you to pay eBills to selected service providers.

To take advantage of online bill payment, you have to set up your bank account. Once everything is dialed in, life is easy going forward. Find out what it takes to set up online bill payment at your bank.

Note: this page only covers steps to pay bills from your bank account. If you want to set up online bill payment at your service provider (called ACH debit), you’ll need to follow instructions on their website.

1. Find Online Bill Payment Center

First, you’ll need to find where to pay bills on your bank’s website. Often you just click a link or tab that says 'Pay Bills'.

2. Add Payees

When you make an online bill payment, who does it go to? The recipient (your service provider) is called a 'payee'. Click a link that says something like 'Add Payees' or 'Manage Payees'.

3. Enter Payee Info

When adding a payee, you need to provide details to the online bill payment system:

  • Payee name
  • Mailing address for payments
  • Your account number
  • Additional information (phone numbers, memos, etc)
Some online bill payment systems recognize payees just by their name and zip code. They complete some of the information for you (like exactly who the check should be made payable to) and you just have to enter your account number.

4. Verify Information

After you create a payee, you should verify that everything is accurate. In future months, you’ll breeze through online bill payment without double-checking mailing addresses and account numbers - so take the time to do it now. You don’t want to send checks to a stranger (or to somebody else’s account) do you?

5. Select Payment Options

Some payees may have a relationship with your bank. They may be able to send your bill to the bank electronically. From there, you can either pay the bill manually or authorize the online bill payment system to pay each bill automatically.

You can also set up automatic recurring payments. For example, you know what your mortgage payment is and when it’s due each month, so you can put the payments on auto-pilot.

6. Monitor Your Account

Online bill payment can make life easy, but you shouldn’t ignore your accounts. Check in regularly to see that you have sufficient funds and make sure you can make sense of every transaction in the account.

You might make sure you have overdraft protection in case a payment goes through and your account is emptied. The least expensive form of overdraft protection is generally an overdraft line of credit.

Enjoy

Now that your online bill payment system is set up, you can enjoy the benefits. Each month, you should be able to just login to your account, click on a payee, and enter a payment amount. The bank takes care of everything else.
