Prepping for Your Next Savings Account

Piggybacking on the previous passage, it’s good to familiarize yourself with your institution of choice. You can browse their online presence, including their website and social media, to get a feel for their effectiveness and consumer response. Also, it’s never a bad idea to do an in-person visit for a firsthand look at things.

If you’ve decided on a home for your next savings account, there are a few things to ensure you have one. First, you will likely be required to present multiple forms of documentation authenticating your identity. Most only require two; you can use things like your driver’s ID, social security card, birth certificate, passport etc. Essentially, any form of identification provided to you by the government should work.
