Money in a checking account is called demand deposit.
Yes. There are no restrictions as to who can deposit cash into a checking account. Anyone can deposit cash into anyone else's account as long as they know the account number of the account into which they want to deposit cash. For ex: I can walk into the bank branch where you hold a checking account and deposit $500 into it if I know the account number. Nobody will ask or question me as to why I am doing so…
Demand Deposit Account
Yes, it is possible for someone to be added to a checking account as a deposit-only signatory, meaning they can only make deposits into the account but cannot write checks or make withdrawals. This arrangement is often used when someone needs to provide funds to an account but does not need or want access to the funds for spending or withdrawals.
"Whidbey Island bank requires you to make a deposit of 100 dollars to open a checking account with them. If you are opening a savings account, you must deposit at least 150 dollars."
I think it is US $ 500 for a simple checking account. The bank would give you an ATM card and a check book for this account. However if you arrange to have a Direct Deposit (Your Monthly Salary/paycheck) into this account Bank of America waives this minimum balance requirement and you can have it as a Zero-Balance checking account.
