Introduction

When you were young and you had very little income and few expenses, a piggy bank might have worked to collect and store money acquired through an allowance, gifts, or doing odd jobs.

However, a piggy bank is neither a secure location for large sums of money nor a convenient place to have your money if you want to use it to pay bills or purchase large items.

Financial institutions

Income often comes in the form of a cheque or a direct deposit which requires a financial institution to process so that you can receive and use the money you earned.

There are several types of financial institutions that offer a variety of services to help you manage your money.

Checkings and savings

Savings and chequing accounts are safe places to put money you plan to spend soon:

Saving accounts – allow you to set money aside for emergencies, save for a large purchase or build funds for your education – while keeping your money readily accessible.

Ways to lower account fees

1.watch how many transactions you make Some accounts let you make as many transactions as you like for a flat monthly fee, but it’s usually higher. Other accounts place a limit on how many transactions you can make for the fee you pay. You'll pay more if you go over your limit.

2. Watch your account balance Some accounts offer lower fees if you keep a minimum balance in your account at all times. You will pay an NSF (not sufficient funds) fee if you make a payment from your account and there is not enough money to cover it.
