    DO NOT let them lure you into getting a savings account. It will NOT build up.
    Savings accounts will NOT give you much, by “not much” I don’t mean penny on the dollar, I mean LESS than that. Plus, you can penalized if you accidentally withdraw from that account or suddenly need it. NO reason to risk being charged another fee by using your own money.
    Stay with FREE checking accounts, no fees, no penalties. Free to cash out any time. Why? Savings accounts are NOT giving more than 3% nowadays, not enough to matter. If you want 3% of your money, just cut some spending, shop smarter and stiff waiters.
    You only need ONE account if you don’t have much business. If you want an account to separate saved money you don’t use, get another FREE checking account with another bank.

    Your saving account build up by you keep putting money into it and from the little bit of interests the bank put into it… thats how it keep building up anyway The account that is important to have between the 2 is based on your banking needs..Saving is for “saving purposes only that allow a limited of withdrawal per month(mostly 3) and checking account allow you to write checks to pay your bills plus checking accounts mostly offer unlimited withdrawal per month anyway Take Care and Good Luck

  • Thinking of investing your savings?


    While increasing your savings is good, multiplying your money through smart investments feels great - there are lots of opportunities out there and you can be successful if you're arming yourself with the right information.

    Where to start?

    If you're going to try your luck on the stock market or trading options, first start by learning the basics and delay as much as possible buying real positions. One way of getting hands-on experience with the markets is through online trading - either forex or binary options are good learning grounds and most online brokers offer trial accounts free of charge (if you're wondering what are binary options, 24option.com has very good resources on it, besides offering a free practice account and a wealth of information about binary trading in general). Final warning for the very eager: binary options are exotic financial instruments; real trading involves substantial risk of monetary loss.
