What is CDA in banking meaning and use?

CDA is a banking acronym for Controlled Disbursement Account. A CDA bank account is a subsidiary account to a Master account that is manually funded for a specific purpose (i.e. Accounts Payable, Payroll, etc.). Usually the CDA account balance is checked each morning for withdrawn funds, and if approved the exact funds are transfered from the Master account to satisfy the withdrawal. The alternative bank account structure is a ZBA account, which stands for Zero Balance Account. A ZBA account is a subsidiary account that is directly tied to the Master account so that any deposits/withdrawals are automatically transferred (swept) to the Master account, thereby maintaining a Zero Balance in the subsidiary account. The primary difference is that CDA provides a higher level of security since it requires a positive confirmation to transfer funds between the Master and Subsidiary accounts.

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.
