Checking account.

Reason: checking accounts are designed for frequent transactions — debit card use, bill pay, ATM withdrawals, and writing checks — with no or few limits on withdrawals.

Quick compare:
- Savings: for parking emergency funds or short-term goals; often limited withdrawals and earns interest.
- Money market: higher interest and some check/ATM access, but may have withdrawal limits and higher minimums.
- Certificate of deposit (CD): high interest for locked-up money; penalty for early withdrawals — not for everyday spending.

Also look for low/no fees, wide ATM network, and overdraft protection when choosing a checking account.
