Know Your Checks
Before we show you how to balance your
check.
* '''Routing Number: '''These nine numbers are found in the bottom left corner of
a check. They are used to track all electronic transactions and often begin with 0, 1, 2, or 3.
* '''Account Number:''' The location of your account number will vary; some are found after the routing number while others are located on a
corner of a check just above the date, but it is also located on the same line as the routing and account numbers.
Checking Tightrope
Every checkbook and
math is involved to complete the balancing, but it's simple, we promise. If you're still unsure of what to do, don't worry. Follow these steps and your bank account will thank you.
* Enter any and all transactions made into the appropriate boxes. This means whatever you took out in ATM withdrawals, bill payments, debit card and
documented.
* Every month you will receive a statement from your bank that details your transactions over a certain period of time. Compare this statement to whatever you recorded on your checking balance slip. Pair up items that match and note which don't. This is an important step most people forget to do.
* If there are new additions to your account, such as ATM withdrawals and fees, deposits, and
new checks, add them.
*
Subtract from your account any deductions that were previously not recorded.
* Once the previous steps are completed, your checkbook will be balanced!
