If you don't currently use a bank, then you may not realize all of the advantages that can come from having a checking account. Read on to learn more about the merits of getting a free checking account. Here is some more information on having a checking account for you to go over: 

1. Have a safe place for your money

If you have been keeping your cash at home or even in another location up to this point, then you are taking a big chance with your money. Many things can happen to your money and leave you in a bad financial situation. Your money can be stolen, it can be burned in a fire, it can be destroyed in a flood from a broken pipe, or many other things can happen to it. However, when you have it in the bank, it will be kept safe for you. 

2. Keep track of your money

When you have a checking account, you will be able to keep track of your money. You will get monthly bank statements that will detail every deposit and withdrawal that took place during that month, as well as information on your beginning and ending balance. This can help you in a lot of ways. For example, being able to track your money in this manner can help you see where you can save money in the future. You will also have the ability to sign up for an online account, so you can track your money online as well. 

3. Have easy access to your money

When you have a checking account, you will have very easy access to your money because you can spend it or access it in many ways. You will be able to write a check, use an electronic check online, use a debit card, run your debit card as a credit card, pull money out of an ATM, pull money out at the bank, or even pull money out at most registers while making a purchase. 

4. Enjoy free checking

Some checking accounts come with a small monthly maintenance fee. However, you can choose to go with a free checking account in which you won't have to worry about having a small maintenance fee coming out of your account each month. 

There are many reasons why you should use a free checking account. Contact local banks to learn more or to open an account.
