Why is it important to have a free checking account?

Banks charge fees, too many commissions. For this reason, we should only open checking accounts for free. From Responsible Economy we give you 3 reasons why it is important to have a free checking account. We will also show you all the banks that offer free checking accounts. Welcome!

There are free checking accounts

Why pay for something you can get completely free. In the United States there are more than 10 banks that offer checking accounts without fees. You can open the account with no payroll or minimum deposit requirements. In addition, the debit and credit cards linked to the account are free.

Most online banks such as Ally, Sofi, Charles Schwab… offer checking accounts totally free.

Save money

If you are paying $20 every month for account maintenance, this means that during the year you pay a total of $240. Although it may seem like little money, the reality is that after 10 years the commissions exceed $2,500. Wouldn’t you rather have $2.500 in your pocket? Do you prefer to give it to your bank? Up to you…

Investments

Now imagine that instead of paying commissions every month, you invest the money you save in a stock market. In addition, not paying commissions you can get a return on your savings.
