Checking Account: money in the checking account can be used freely. There is no fixed term. You can use the money by writing checks or by using a debit card (see below).
Certificate of Deposit (CD) Account: money that you do not plan to spend in the near future can be deposited into a Certificate of Deposit (CD). CD accounts usually have a higher interest rate than savings accounts, but require you to sign up for a fixed term contract. During the period of the term, you cannot use the money.
Checks Drawn on Foreign Banks: If you deposit a check drawn on a foreign bank into your U.S. bank account, it may take several weeks before the money is credited to your account. A faster method is that you have the money wire-transferred to your U.S. account.
Debit Cards: Debit cards are issued by your bank and can be used to make payments at locations that accept credit cards. Unlike credit cards, the money is taken directly out of your checking account.
Credit Cards: Credit cards allow you to make purchases without cash or checks. You pay the credit card company monthly for “borrowing” the money. You are charged interest for any amount not paid back that month. If you do not pay the bill in full
Saving Account: money cannot be spent freely until transferred into a checking account. Savings account usually have a higher interest rate that checking accounts.
