Financial services are a broad range of more specific activities such as banking, investing, and insurance. Financial services are limited to the activity of financial services firms and their professionals, while financial products are the actual goods, accounts, or investments they provide.
Accounts in banks and credit unions are insured up to $250,000 by the federal government. You can use checks to pay bills, and avoid the hassle and expense of buying money orders or the risk of losing cash. A bank where you have an account can serve as a reference for landlords, phone service carriers and utility companies. You earn interest on the money in your savings account. You do not have to pay for cashing or depositing checks. Federal regulations protect you against loss when you use an automated teller machine (ATM) or debit card and limit your potential loss if your card is lost or stolen. (These are cards that allow you to withdraw cash and make purchases by accessing funds in your checking or savings account.)
You can use your debit card to make purchases at stores that accept such cards—this is called a "point-of-sale" transaction. Some businesses, such as grocery stores, will allow you to get cash back while you are making a purchase with your card.
A checking account provides a record of the money that goes into your account and the money that comes out of it. With online access, you can see in "real time" when deposits have been made, if checks and other transactions have "cleared" and what your current balance is.
Direct deposit is a service of employers, payroll companies, brokerages and government benefits programs that allows money due to you to be deposited directly into your checking or savings account using electronic transfer of funds. Direct deposit is a safer, faster and less expensive alternative to paper checks. Many banks will waive or reduce monthly account fees for customers who use direct deposit.
You may have zero liability if you report the loss within two business days, or you could be liable for up to $50 if you report it more than two business days after realizing your card is missing. However, you could lose all the money in your account and the unused portion of your overdraft line of credit if you fail to report an unauthorized transfer or withdrawal within 60 days of the date of the account statement that reflects the error. Report a lost or stolen card to your bank or credit union immediately
Yes. ETAs are available to all recipients of federal benefit, wage, salary or retirement payments.
A savings account is designed to keep your money safe and to help it grow through interest earnings, which is money the financial institution pays you. You can make deposits into your account, just as you can with a checking account. To withdraw funds, you can use a withdrawal form that you fill out and give to the teller, use your ATM card to withdraw cash at an ATM machine, or make electronic transfers if your account is set up for online access. (When using an ATM, the machine will ask if you want to withdraw the cash from your checking account or savings account before the transaction is carried out.)
There are two kinds of interest: simple and compound. When you are earning interest, compound is better because you earn interest not only on your initial deposit but also on the interest you have accumulated. In contrast, simple interest is calculated only on your initial deposit.
