Savings Banks with Checking Accounts
Many banks require you to maintain a savings account with them for at least 6 months before you can apply for a checking account. Or they require a referral from a loyal client or bank officer.
This is because checking accounts entail responsibilities such as:
. Funding your checking account fully on time
for every check that you issue
. Keeping secure your checking account booklet
. Not issuing blank checks
. Not issuing a check to the payee of a friend or family member
unless your checking account is funded first
. Making sure you have incoming money to fund post-dated checks,
such as payments for condos, homes, rent, etc.
