Why should you open a checking account? 

Because of their accessibility and safety, checking accounts make for a good financial hub -- a versatile account that can be used to pay bills, make purchases and receive deposits. Checking accounts can simplify your financial life. For example, you can setup your checking account to receive automatic deposits from your employer and make automatic withdrawals to pay your bills. Mobile apps enable you to make payments, transfer money and review your transaction history whether you're sitting comfortably at home or on the go.
