How are checking accounts and savings accounts terms alike?

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.
