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.

What is the difference between a checking and savings account in terms of interest rates?
Usually, most checking accounts don't pay interest at all or if they do, a very high minimum balance is needed. Usually when it is available, savings does have more interest paid, but not a significant amount more. Because checking accounts are made to be used, interest is often lower. Savings, and variations of it, tend to be higher because it is not touched...as often.
How are ATM and debit card terms alike?
ATM and debit card terms are alike in that both provide access to a user's bank account for withdrawing cash or making purchases. They are linked directly to checking or savings accounts, allowing for real-time transactions. Additionally, both typically require a Personal Identification Number (PIN) for security purposes. Overall, they serve as convenient tools for managing personal finances.

Should I have checking accounts at different banks?
It is not, generally speaking, necessary to have checking accounts at different banks. Multiple checking accounts can increase your risk of overdraft; instead, it is probably a better idea to research the bank that has the most favorable terms for you.
Which type of bank account is not insured?
Investment accounts, such as brokerage accounts or accounts holding mutual funds and stocks, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) like standard bank accounts are. While these investment accounts can offer the potential for higher returns, they also carry the risk of loss, as the value of investments can fluctuate. In contrast, checking and savings accounts at insured banks are protected up to the insured limit. Always examine the terms and conditions of your accounts to understand their protections.
