BANK ACCOUNTS
Banks provide various services for their clients. The main functions of banks are crediting of businesses, providing financial operations of their clients and making money for themselves. If you need a considerable sum for starting your own business you may take a loan from the bank or mortgage your house or your estate if you have any. But remember: you borrow an umbrella on a sunny day and, perhaps, you will have to give it back on a rainy one. Besides, the bank usually has its interest which may make a considerable sum. This is the reason why many people are not willing to borrow money from banks, but they receive some other services of banks more willingly, for example they prefer to keep their money in banks. Planks have security systems and they insure their capital. That’s why the majority of people have their bank accounts and use them for differed financial operations.
It’s very simple to open a bank account. There are very few formalities. Just go to your local branch and fill in a few forms. You will probably only have to pay bank charges if there is no money in your account or if you borrow money from the bank, in other words if you have an overdraft.
For regular everyday use most people prefer a current account. This normally earns no interest but you are given a check-book, which makes shopping and paying bills very easy. A deposit account earns interest but it’s not so easy to withdraw your money. You sometimes have to give a week’s notice.
At regular intervals, perhaps monthly, you will receive a statement from the bank, giving details of each deposit (money you put in) and withdrawal (money you take out). If you are not sure how much money you have foryour account, you can just go to your bank and ask what your balance is. If you have to make a regular payment, like rent, you can ask the bank to pay this amount for you automatically. This agreement is called a standing order.
Some people spend more money than they receive. If you take more money out of the bank than you have in your account, you are overdrawn. The bank gives you a check-book for easy payments. To keep a record of your spending, it’s a good idea when you write a cheque to fill in the counterfoil, which stays in the bock. Most cheques are crossed cheques, which mean that no one else can cash them.
