Elestra asked:


Obviously you can write checks using a checking account, but other than that, why would you use a checking account over a savings account? And can you use a debit card with a saving account, or is that also only checking?

???? asked:


This question applies to Bank of America.

If you want a checkings account (campus edge checking account), do you need to have a savings account open.

There’s not even $200 in the checkings and I don’t have the $300 to put in the savings in order to waive the monthly fees.

Can I cancel the savings and stay only with the checkings account?

Entidine asked:


I had about $6,000 in a savings account last year and it earned about $12 in interest. That’s only about two-tenths of a percent. Is that right? I thought savings accounts earned 3% on average. 3% of $6,000 is $180. What gives?
