What is the difference between a chequing and a savings account?

A chequing account is dedicated to your day-to-day transactions, such as transfers to other accounts, bill payments, or sending money via Interac. This National Bank online chequing account gives you a debit card, a cheque book and access to your online banking and customer service by phone or in-branch. A National Bank online savings account allows you to put money aside for a project, such as buying a home or going on vacation, or to build a cushion against the unexpected, such as the loss of a job or income. A savings account offers an interest rate on the money you put into it.
