This usually involves the joint signing of a transfer card or other financial papers. While you are signing the cards, check for correct names, addresses, and account numbers.

Most banks send a monthly statement of activities for each checking account.
Statements of activities for savings accounts, certificates of deposit, etc., vary with the institution. When the bank statement arrives, balance the account as soon as possible. If you follow these guidelines but cannot balance the account after several tries, the bank may be able to offer you some help. Most banks have personnel available to help you, but be sure to make an appointment. Cancelled checks are proof of payment.
