Keep reading to learn about the different types of checking accounts available to you, so you can choose the right one to fit your lifestyle.<\/p>\n<h2>Student Checking Account<\/h2>\n<p>If you are a high school student looking to open your first checking account, look for options that take\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/Personal-Banking\/Checking\/Student-Checking\">youth checking<\/a>\u00a0needs into consideration. For example,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/Personal-Banking\/Checking\/Student-Checking\">firstStudent Checking<\/a>\u00a0is ideal for teens ages 15-17. Whether you need a checking account for direct deposit of your paycheck from a part-time job, or just want the convenience of having a debit card, your youth checking account should come with the following features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>No minimum balance requirement:<\/strong>\u00a0Teens are not known for making a ton of money from part-time and summer jobs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free debit card:<\/strong>\u00a0For the convenience of making online purchases, using your mobile wallet app, and more. Who carries a ton of cash around these days?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Online, mobile, &amp; text message banking:<\/strong>\u00a0Because you are busy going to school, doing activities or sports afterwards, and holding down a job. Check your account balance, find an ATM, and deposit that occasional check from Grandma, all from the palm of your hand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unlimited check writing:<\/strong>\u00a0Paper checks? We know this is not your preferred method of paying, but you occasionally may need to pay by check. Do not overlook it as a free perk when choosing a checking account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are looking for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/personal-banking\/debit-cards\/\">teen debit card,<\/a>\u00a0you should definitely consider a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/Personal-Banking\/Checking\/Student-Checking\">student checking account<\/a>\u00a0instead of going the route of a prepaid debit card so you can develop good banking habits. Once you turn 18, you can switch to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/Personal-Banking\/Checking\/firstEssential-Checking\">firstEssential Checking Account<\/a>\u00a0with many of the same features and benefits.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1543\" src=\"http:\/\/firstexbank.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/How-To-Choose-The-Right-Checking-Account-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"825\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/How-To-Choose-The-Right-Checking-Account-04.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/How-To-Choose-The-Right-Checking-Account-04-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/How-To-Choose-The-Right-Checking-Account-04-768x298.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Second Chance Checking<\/h2>\n<p>Are you looking for a fresh start with your new checking account? Maybe you have had a checking account in the past and it did not work out so well. If you have been reported in ChexSystems or other having trouble opening checking accounts at other financial institutions, you may want to look for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/Personal-Banking\/Checking\/Take-2-Checking\">second chance checking account.\u00a0<\/a>This type of checking account offers many of the same benefits as a standard checking account, such as a free debit card and access to online and mobile banking. After maintaining a Take 2 Account in good standing for 18 consecutive months, you may be able to switch to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/Personal-Banking\/Checking\/firstEssential-Checking\">firstEssential Checking Account.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While Second Chance Checking accounts come with certain limitations, they are a great way to rebuild your credit and meet an employer\u2019s requirement that you have a checking account for direct deposit.<\/p>\n<h2>An Essential Checking Account<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, all you want is a checking account with the bare essentials. For example, our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/Personal-Banking\/Checking\/firstEssential-Checking\">firstEssential Checking account<\/a>\u00a0has only a $50 minimum deposit, no minimum balance requirement, and no monthly fees. Meanwhile, you get a free debit card, free online and mobile banking, and a limited ATM fee reimbursement nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>A basic checking account is a great option to move into once you graduate from a student checking account. If you tend to maintain a higher minimum daily balance and would like to earn interest on your funds, consider a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/Personal-Banking\/Checking\/NOW-Account\">NOW Account.<\/a>\u00a0This Negotiable Order with Withdrawal Account is a basic checking account that earns interest and comes with benefits like free eStatements and unlimited check writing.<\/p>\n<h2>Interest Checking Accounts<\/h2>\n<p>While<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/Personal-Banking\/Savings\">\u00a0savings accounts<\/a>\u00a0are more often known for earning interest than checking accounts, there are also options to earn interest on your checking account balances. For example, our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/Personal-Banking\/Checking\/firstPlus-Checking\">firstPlus Checking Account\u00a0<\/a>offers a variety of great perks along with the opportunity to earn interest on your account balance.<br \/>\nAlong with a free debit card, online and mobile banking, and limited ATM free reimbursements, you can select two additional perks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ID Theft Protection<\/li>\n<li>Free Checks<\/li>\n<li>Free Monthly Movie at Tygart Valley Cinema (Subject to Availability)<\/li>\n<li>Annual 25% Discount on Safe Deposit Box Rental Fee<\/li>\n<li>0.25% Discount on a Consumer (non-real estate secured) Loan<\/li>\n<li>Free Cashier&#8217;s Checks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, you can waive the $10 Monthly Fee with any two of the $5 value items below during your statement cycle:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$5: E-Statements<\/li>\n<li>$5: At least 10 Debit Card Purchases<\/li>\n<li>$5: Direct Deposit of at least $500<\/li>\n<li>$5: Primary Signer on an open Consumer Loan$5: Total Deposit Balance of at least $5,000 (includes Checking, Savings, and CDs) on the last day of the statement cycle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Interest-bearing checking accounts are a great way to make your money work harder for you.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1544\" src=\"http:\/\/firstexbank.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/How-To-Choose-The-Right-Checking-Account-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"825\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/How-To-Choose-The-Right-Checking-Account-01.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/How-To-Choose-The-Right-Checking-Account-01-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.firstexchangebank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/How-To-Choose-The-Right-Checking-Account-01-768x298.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Reward Checking Accounts<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes you have to choose between high interest or rewards.
