They can help to manage money and make paying bills more convenient. The funds are easily accessed through a check, an automated teller machine (ATMs), a debit card, telephone, or internet. Services and fees will vary depending upon the financial institution. People might use a checking account for the following reasons: Reduces the need to carry large amounts of cash Convenience useful for paying bills instead of cash or money order Written record of expenses keeps track of where money is spent on the check register and can act as a spending plan tool o The MontGuide, Using a Check Register, can be used as a reference. Available from Montana State University Extension Services search for Using a Check Register A check is used at the time of purchase as the form of payment. It is a piece of paper pre-printed with the account holder s name, address, financial institution, and identification numbers. To complete the check, the account holder completes the amount, payee (to whom the check is being written), date, and signature. When a check is written for an amount over the current balance held in the account, the check bounces because of insufficient funds and is assessed a substantial fee by both the financial institution and the payee. Bouncing a check can harm a person s opportunity for future credit opportunities. A register is a place to immediately record all monetary transactions to keep a running balance of the account. All transactions should be recorded including written checks, ATM withdrawals, debit card purchases, deposits, fees, etc. A checkbook contains the checks and the register to track monetary transactions. ATM: Automated teller machines (ATMs) or cash machines are electronic computer terminals which offer automated, computerized banking where you can withdraw cash or deposit funds into an account. ATMs are accessed with an Family Economics & Financial Education May 2010 Get Ready to Take Charge of Your Finances Checking Account & Debit Card Simulation Page 1
2 ATM or debit card and a PIN. ATMs are usually free of charge for customers using his/her financial institution s ATM. Some ATMs charge a fee for use, and financial institutions may also assess a fee if a customer uses another banks ATM. To use an ATM insert the card into the slot, type in the PIN and perform the desired transaction. Keep the printed receipt to compare with that month s bank statement. Debit Card: A debit card is a plastic card which looks like a credit card, but is electronically connected to the cardholder s bank account for purchases. When a purchase is made, money is automatically taken from the designated account. Some cards are dual function cards for ATMs and debit cards, meaning one card performs both functions. Debit cards require using a personal identification number (PIN) to access the account to perform transactions. A PIN confirms that the user of the debit card is authorized to access the account. The card is used by swiping it through the store machine or entering it into the ATM. To authorize the purchase a PIN must be entered or the receipt must be signed. Pro s Convenient Small Can be used like a credit card Allows a person to carry less cash Does not allow overspending Con s Can lose track of balance if transactions are not written down Opens checking account up to credit card fraud Others can gain access to the cardholder s account if he/she finds the card and the PIN is known Endorsing a Check: To deposit a check, it must be endorsed. This means the person who receives the check must sign the back of the check to approve it for deposit. Ways to endorse a check include: Blank Endorsement anyone can cash or deposit the check after the check has been signed by the receiver of the check. Restrictive Endorsement more secure than blank endorsement because the receiver writes for deposit only and the account number to which the money will be deposited into above the signature. This allows the check to only be deposited. Special Endorsement the check can be transferred to second party if the receiver signs the back and writes pay to the order of (fill in the person s name). o This is also known as a two-party check. Making a Deposit: A deposit slip contains the account holder s account number and allows money (cash or check) to be deposited into the correct account. Checking account deposit slips are located in the back of the checkbook after the checks. Checks must be listed on the deposit slip individually. If more checks are being deposited than fit on the front of the deposit slip, write the extra checks on the back of the deposit slip and write the total amount of the checks from the back on the front where indicated. Deposits can be made at an ATM or with a bank teller. Cash back may be received if the deposit is made with a teller. The amount of cash received is not deposited into the account. The amount deposited must be recorded in the check register to keep the balance current. Writing a Check: To pay for items using a checking account, a check must be completed and given to the person or business as a form of payment. To write the check, the account holder must complete the following items on the check in order for it to Family Economics & Financial Education May 2010 Get Ready to Take Charge of Your Finances Checking Account & Debit Card Simulation Page 2
3 be accepted: date, payee (to whom the check was written), amount in numerical form and written out, and his/her signature. Immediately record the check into the check register. Check Clearing for the 21 st Century Act (Check 21) Prior to Check 21, a customer would write a check to pay for a service or product, and have several days before the money would transfer from the customer s bank account to the service provider s bank account. Now, because of Check 21, the check is sent electronically to the customer s bank and the money is withdrawn automatically, therefore, a person must have money in his/her account before writing the check. Check 21 is similar to the debit card process. Many stores are moving toward using this technology to avoid receiving bad checks. Debit cards can be used when money is not in the account, however the consequences will be determined by the consumer s choice of opting into an overdraft protection plan. Overdraft As a result of The Card Act (effective 2010), consumers have options regarding overdrafts for transactions made with their debit or ATM cards. An overdraft occurs when a consumer withdrawal from a bank account exceeds the available balance. Consumers must now choose to allow their depository institution to accept transactions which will exceed their available balance and be charged a $20-$30 transaction fee. Or, a consumer may choose to allow a transaction to be declined if there are not sufficient funds. However, debit card transactions may not clear the depository institution until the next business day depending upon how quickly a business processes its sales. For this reason it is important to know the account balance prior to making a debit card purchase. Monthly Statement: A statement is mailed monthly listing each monetary transaction and the current account balance. It shows the dates and transaction amounts, any interest earned (if applies), any applicable fees or charges, check identification (number, date, amount), and any withdrawals or deposits. Reconciling a Checking Account: The statement can be used to reconcile the account, which means to balance the checkbook register each month to the balance shown on the statement. To reconcile an account, start by checking to make sure every transaction listed on the statement matches the checkbook register. Place a check next to each item once it has been double-checked between the statement and register. Do this for both withdrawals and deposits. Subtract any fees or service charges from the register not already listed and write them down. Identify any outstanding transactions in the check register. These are the items which have not cleared through the financial institution and are not listed on the statement. List and add them up. Then start with the balance on the statement from the financial institution. Add any outstanding deposits. Subtotal the balance and outstanding deposits. Subtract any outstanding withdrawals. The total after doing this should be the same balance in the checkbook register. If not, check the math, look for missing check numbers, or double-check the statement. Reconciling the checking account is helpful because then the account owner knows the exact balance in the checkbook. Checking Account Safety: If a checkbook, ATM, and/or debit card gets lost or stolen, immediately report it to the financial institution and file a report with the police. If a checkbook is stolen and then reported, financial institutions generally do not hold the account holder liable for any fraudulent charges. If the ATM/debit card is reported within 2 business days, the cardholder is only liable for $ If the cardholder waits longer, he/she could be liable for up to $ However, this can vary depending upon the institution because some may not charge the account holder anything if the correct reporting steps were taken. Be sure to keep ATM/debit cards and checkbooks in a safe location.

4 In this lesson, students are introduced to checking accounts. Students learn about checking accounts by discussing the characteristics and practicing how to complete sample deposit slips, personal checks, endorsements, debit card and registers. The students practice reconciling bank statements to learn about the importance of keeping a correct balance. Students apply the information by completing a checking and debit card simulation. Students write deposit slips and personal checks, complete checkbook registers, read bank statements, and reconcile a checkbook.
