Question on Checking to savings transfer....?

Question

I would like to move money from a checking to a savings account. One account is not linked to another. So, do I need to write a personal check to myself in order to put money from checking into savings?

Answer 1

You can write a personal check.

Or, if you have online Bill Pay, you can send the check to the bank, with your account information as the payee. This is how I make deposits to my savings account.

Answer 2

If you are on both accounts and they are at the same bank, you should be able to have them transfer the funds over their system, or if online banking is available you can do it yourself. If you are not on both accounts, or if they are at different banks, you will need to write a check from one account and deposit it into the other.

Answer 3

if it is the same bank, and you own both accounts, its a snap. just call them up. but if you don't own them, or they are in different banks, you can do a wire transfer for a fee. personally, i would just write a check

Answer 4

If you don't ahve online banking you might have to. Or you can talk to the bank and see if they can just wire the money for you.
