What is the difference between a checking account and a savings account?
A checking account is primarily used for everyday transactions such as paying bills and making purchases with a debit card. It allows for unlimited withdrawals and usually does not earn much interest. On the other hand, a savings account is designed for long-term saving and typically has higher interest rates. Withdrawals may be limited, and it can be a good place to store money for emergencies or future goals.

Improving your credit score takes time and effort, but it is achievable. Start by paying your bills on time and in full each month.

Maintain a diverse mix of credit types, such as credit cards and loans, but don't open too many accounts at once. Regularly check your credit report for errors and dispute any inaccuracies. Lastly, be patient, as it takes time to build a positive credit history.
