You can be sure that it would be secure, all the while giving you the freedom to dispense of it as you please. You can entrust it in either a savings account or a checking account. Your decision on which kind of account to open depends on how you would like your money to work for you.

The cheque had its origins in the ancient banking system, in which bankers would issue orders at the request of their customers, to pay money to identified payees.
