A checking account is a transactional account or demand deposit account maintained for routine deposits and withdrawals. Money held in a checking account is more liquid that that in a savings account and can be withdrawn via checks, ATMs and electronic debits. Checking accounts generally pay lower rates of interest than savings accounts and are offered by banks for a minimal or no fee at all.
