What is a checking account and how do they work?

A checking account is a “liquid” account that lets CU SoCal customers make deposits and withdrawals as needed. This included using ATMs, depositing checks and cash, writing checks, automatic bill pay, and other transactions to pay everyday expenses, as well as making other financial transactions.
