There are only two real requirements to open the free checking account 1.) and valid SSN if you are a US citizen and 2. a minimum deposit of 100.00
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
One can obtain a USSA checking acount at a USAA Federal Savings Bank if the proper requirements are met. One can make a deposit into one's account via online bank transfer, via postage-paid mail envelopes, or at USAA Deposit@Home.
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.

My current bank checking account is invalid. How do I change the account number to the new checking account ???
On opening an account backs will normally ask for a small deposit to start the process.
DDA stands for demand deposit account. It is a bank account in which you can deposit and withdraw money. A form of a demand deposit account is a checking account.
You go to your bank of choice and tell them that you want to open a checking account. You'll need a deposit. Banks vary on the amount of a deposit needed to open an account. Banks offer different kinds of checking accounts too.
A check is a demand. It is an order to pay someone form your checking account. A checking account is a demand deposit.
