Time to open a checking account
I currently do not have any checking accounts to speak of. I have a savings account and a time deposit account but no checking account. Now that I am reading what I just wrote, it’s kind of embarrassing, ‘no? I mean, almost all my friends have their own checking accounts. What I actually do is I pay everything in cash. I pay the bills through online banking. If I really need a check to pay for something, I ask my dad for one. Of course, I give him the equivalent cash.
When my sister knew about this, she scolded me. She told me that I am old enough to manage my own checking account and that I should have one. I cannot continue paying in cash because the interest forgone is a waste of money. She is right, of course.
A friend of mine told me about WaMu. They offer personal checking accounts. I like their Platinum Checking, an interest-bearing checking account that comes with free bank checks and money orders, Plus, it also offers a free Identity Theft Services. Money can be accessed using their Debit MasterCard and through thousands of WaMu’s free ATMs. If you are also interested like me, just go to WaMu.com right away and know more about what they offer.
