What is a checking account?
The checking account is a demand deposit, that is, the holder can withdraw his money, in part or in full, at any time, through different channels such as the Internet, dataphones, or ATMs. What sets this product apart is that in addition to issuing a debit card, another means of payment is delivered in the form of paper documents that are used to transfer money from one place to another, the famous checks.
