You have the option of keycard access or a passbook. You do have the option of having a cheque book (not that many people write cheques these days in Australia).

Social Security Number
When I opened my checking account I had to present a current texas drivers liscense, and my social security card.
Your social security number and tax ID are required to open a business checking account.
A US checking Account
Social Security funds are protected against a lien on your checking account. However you will have to prove that the funds in your account are from Social Security. If there are other funds "commingled" then unprotected funds may be seized
To open a new checking account with Chase bank, a social security number and driver's license are required. Contact information such as name, phone and address are also needed.
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.
A checking account is also called a transactional account or chequing account.
Your bank routing number is on the left side of the checking account and the checking account is next to it.
Actually None. A Social Security Number is a mandatory requirement if you want to open a checking account in the United States. However, if you are a new resident of the country (say a foreign worker) the bank will allow you to open the account with the SSN but you have to apply for your SSN and update your bank records within the first month of opening of the account. If you fail to do so, the bank can freeze or even close your account.
No, a checking account is not correlated to your credit score. The only reason why you have to give your social security # is to prove that you have no outstanding debt with any other banks. ______________________________________ Actually, there is a correlation. Having a checking account doesn't improve your credit score, but you can be accepted or denied an account based on it. If you have bad credit, or no credit, you may be denied from a variety of bank checking accounts. I was told by my lawyer it does improve your credit if you keep your checking account in good standings he said the bank report it monthly to the crdit bureaus thats just what i was told
"A high interst checking account is a type of checking account that earns interest. Usually these accounts have higher interest than a regular checking account, but not as high as a savings account."
