    How Checking Accounts Work

      Overview

      First, the why: Checking accounts give you a safe place to deposit your payroll, personal checks, and monetary gifts. They also let you make secure money transfers between accounts or using the payment app to pay family and friends directly.

      Now, the how: Choose a low-minimum, fee-free basic account to start. You can switch to an interest-bearing checking account as your income grows.

      Keep in mind: If you’re working and earning a regular paycheck, set up direct deposit and paperless statements for added convenience and savings.

      How to get started: It’s easy. Just set aside a small amount of money to deposit and pull together the following documentation:

      • Government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver’s license or valid passport)
      • Social Security card/taxpayer ID
      • Proof of Address (e.g., a recent pay stub or utility bill)

      Make the most of LUSO membership.
