Checking account.
Why: checking accounts are designed for frequent transactions — debit card use, ATM access, bill pay, and direct deposits — with few or no limits on everyday withdrawals and purchases.
Why not the others: CDs lock your money for a term and charge penalties for early withdrawal; savings and money market accounts usually limit monthly withdrawals and are intended for saving, not daily spending (some money market accounts do offer checks/debit but often require higher minimums).
Tip: choose a checking account with low/no monthly fees, a debit card, ATM access, and overdraft protections you’re comfortable with.
