Does It Balance?
1 of 2
Reconciling your checking account statements
Why reconciling is important
• Lets you check for mistakes and checks
you wrote but did not enter.
• Gives you a chance to subtract other
charges that the financial institution may
have added.
• Lets you add any interest that your
checking account may have earned.

Reconciling your checking account statements
Why reconciling is important
• Not all the checks you have written will
always be shown, because they may not
have been cleared by your bank or credit
union.
• Uncleared checks will show up on your
next statement.

give it to the clerk to swipe.

*About your PIN
About Your PIN
• PIN stands for Personal Identification
Number. This number gives you access
to your account, so it’s important to
keep it secret.
• Memorize your PIN number. Do not
write it down and keep it somewhere in
your wallet (where someone could find
and use it).
