Checking accounts are DDA, or demand deposit accounts. It's a transactional account that is intended to secure your money but provide quick access for you to withdraw funds in various ways, such as with a debit card, ATM withdrawals, checks, direct debits, and electronic payments. Some checking accounts have a very low interest rate (typically only for accounts with a high daily balance).
Savings accounts are deposit accounts that are not considered transactional. Your money is kept secure in a savings account and also earns interest. You can withdraw the money at the bank with a withdrawal slip, by transfer, or with an ATM card. You cannot use checks or debit cards. Withdrawals are limited to 6 per month by the Federal Reserve Board under Regulation D. Savings accounts are basically a way to earn interest while still keeping the funds liquid.
Accounts that are not liquid, such as certificates of deposit, typically yield higher interest but withdrawals are not allowed or carry penalties.

What is the difference between a checking and savings account in terms of interest rates?
Usually, most checking accounts don't pay interest at all or if they do, a very high minimum balance is needed. Usually when it is available, savings does have more interest paid, but not a significant amount more. Because checking accounts are made to be used, interest is often lower. Savings, and variations of it, tend to be higher because it is not touched...as often.
How can you make a payment in June from your checking account but use your savings account for a July payment in epay?
Unless it says otherwise* in your terms and conditions, you cannot make a payment from a savings account- there is a law concerning both number and nature of withdrawals. The best thing to do is to transfer money from your savings into checking, then schedule the payment from your checking account... * usually if it does say otherwise, then it's not a savings account. If it is, you have the one bank that is able to skip that part of the law controlling personal bank accounts.
Should I have checking accounts at different banks?
It is not, generally speaking, necessary to have checking accounts at different banks. Multiple checking accounts can increase your risk of overdraft; instead, it is probably a better idea to research the bank that has the most favorable terms for you.

What are the types of bank account?
There are three major classes of accounts that can be broken down into individual accounts: transactional banking accounts, credit accounts, and investment accounts. Note that not all banks have all three, but those are the main classes. The main class of accounts banks offer are transactional accounts, usually just called banking accounts. These include savings accounts and checking accounts. Money usually flows between these accounts and other accounts outside the bank, and can either be interest-bearing or non-bearing depending on your banks terms. This last bit refers to whether the account pays interest or not- typically, savings accounts do pay interest while many checking accounts pay no interest. The second class of accounts are the credit accounts, which include loans, mortgages, and credit cards. When applying for a Mortgage or other loan you work with a bank's loan officer who looks up your credit score, while a centralized credit department handles decisions regarding credit cards. The third class are investment accounts, which include retirement accounts, brokerage accounts, and Certificates of Deposit. Certificates of Deposit, or CDs, are similar to savings accounts, yet the customer cannot take money out without paying penalty fees. therefore, this should be seen as an investment. The other types, retirement accounts (typically IRA's) and brokerage accounts act similar to each other: you put money into the account, choose some stock or let an agent pick for you, and let it sit there. An IRA is usually a "set and forget" style account with occasional tweaks, while those that hold brokerage accounts tend to want more control over their money and assets...
