Chequing Accounts
What is a Chequing Account?
A chequing account is the most basic transactional account you can have. It’s considered an account you can use every day. Some of the things you can do with your chequing account includes: Deposits (cash and cheques), withdraw money (at ATMs, bank tellers, etc.), one-time purchases (groceries, gas, etc), one-time or pre-authorized payments, transfers (between accounts of the same institution), Interac e-Transfer® transactions. Your funds in this account can be easily accessed at an ATM, online, by phone or in a branch.
