Sample Checking Account Statement
|
|
Balancing your checking account
Every month the bank mails a Checking Account Statement to each customer. Depending upon your bank you may receive the actual canceled checks or just a thumbnail copy of each.
The bank statement shows deposits and credits, withdrawals and debits, and checks that are cashed. See example in Exercise 4.1.
To balance your checking account against your check register, first review your canceled checks and make sure they are match the amount you wrote into your register. In your register, put a "√ " check mark next to each returned check. Next, do the same for deposits and ATM withdrawals. Add your service fees and interest into your register. Subtract any checks that have not been cashed (out standing).
If you have questions, refer to the back page of your checking account statement.
