Things You'll Need:
- Bank Account
-
Step 1
Talk with friends and relatives about where they have their accounts. Find out what they think and whether they are satisfied with their own banks.
-
Step 2
Determine what type of account(s) you want. The most typical accounts are checking and savings. A savings account allows you to deposit money and receive interest on the money held in the bank. A checking account generally does not generate interest, but allows you to write checks.
-
Step 3
Determine what services are important to you - low prices, Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) access, customer service by phone, Internet banking or how close the branch is to your home or business.
-
Step 4
Go to the bank of your choice, fill out an application and provide the bank with money with which to open the account. You will be given an account number (or two) as well as an ATM card if you choose that option. You will also be given a book of checks if you decide to open a checking account.

on 12/27/2008 I don't understand why I need to provide the bank with money with which to open the account. I need money from the bank. Where else would it come from?
