Various Benefits

Many banks have different levels of checking account benefits.  Each one may have a minimum amount of money needed to be kept in there to avoid a fee or must have a direct deposit.  There can be checking accounts that have:

• Free ATM machines
• Get a better rate on another account (CD, money market)
• Gain a boost in points if you use their credit card actively
• Receive free checks
• Get a lower rate on home or auto loans
• Online banking
• Free bill pay
• Mobile deposit
• Access to online payment portals like zelle

It is really helpful to talk to a banker to find out if you can switch or open an account that may have more benefits.
