Both Checking Accounts and Savings Accounts are basic types of bank accounts provided by banks to their customers. The difference is:
a. There are limitations on the number of trasactions that can be performed in a savings account on a per month basis whereas for checking accounts there are no limitations
b. The interest rate offered by banks on savings account is much higher than what is offered on checking accounts because banks offer almost no interest in them

Specially there are2 type of bank accounts that we generally consider that are as follow: 1.Saving Account:- used by any customers who has an account in that bank, generally used for saving deposit also for primary salary account. 2. current/Checking account :Generally given to the bank's primary customer. the benefit of this account is that a customer can transfer a large amount and might be a greater sum than their original account balance.
A checking account is typically used for the active transfer of money, whether this is money going in (as in a paycheck) or coming out (withdrawals, purchases). Meanwhile, Savings accounts are typically used for putting money in without necessarily withdrawing money out. Savings accounts pay you interest, while few checking accounts give anything at all- in fact, many checking accounts charge a monthly maintenance fee just to use them. Of course, withdrawals and transfers from a savings account are limited by law, while checking accounts have no restrictions on the number or types of transactions.
The exact number of checking accounts is unconfirmed, but over 200,000,000 Americans have at least one checking account. As of 2013, more than 13.5 million Americans also had a Health Savings Account. Around 7.7 percent of Americans do not have any kind of bank account.

There are several benefits from opening and maintaining a business checking account rather than using your personal checking account. When you use a business checking account you are segregating your business funds from your personal funds, thus creating better organization for your business. Also, having the business checking account will help at tax time because all your business transactions will be within the business checking account and there will be no need to sort through your personal transactions. Finally, the business checking account will allow you to use a taxpayer identification number (TIN) so the funds can legally be owned by your business, instead of using your social security number on the checking account. For a small business, opening a business checking account allows you to get more interests. In addition, transactions are processed faster compared to a personal account.
