Bankrate is looking for personal finance experts to weigh in on a story about the different types of bank accounts. We’d like you to answer the following questions: 1) There are four main types of bank accounts (checking, savings, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit). What are the most important factors consumers should consider before opening any type of bank account? 2) How can individuals match their choice of account with their financial goals and lifestyle needs? 3) What common mistakes do people make when choosing bank accounts, and how can these be avoided? 4) What should people look for when comparing checking account terms (such as fees, ATM access, and digital features)?
