ABC News - How to Get The Best Deal When Opening Your First Checking or Savings Account

On ABC News, Jordan Goldman - founder and CEO of Unigo.com - answers viewer questions about opening your first checking and savings account.

Questions answered include:

- "I know different banks offer different interest rates/yields. Instead of just opening an account at my local bank, what's the best way to be smart, choose the best bank, and get the best deals?"

- "I'm heading off to college soon, and getting everything ready before I go. One step is opening up a checking account. Are there any questions I should ask my bank to make sure I get the best deal?"

- "As a college student I've used my debit card on many occasions, including online. It hasn't happened to me but I have had friends who have had their identity stolen and had thousands of dollars charged to their accounts. What security measures can I take to protect myself from being taken advantage of in situations like that?"

- "Do you have any information about renting college textbooks instead of buying?"

- "My son isn't very responsible, and I'm nervous about him having his own checking account. What do
you recommend?"
