NOW和checking account 的区别？

简单点说:
NOW account : 可转让支付命令活期存款（Negotiable order of withdrawal Account，NOW）是既可用于转账结算，又可支付利息，年利率略低于储蓄存款，提款使用规定的支付命令，和支票一样，可自由转让流通。
checking account : 支票帐户(支票账户)也称支票存款，是指存于银行或其他金融机构中的能够开支票的账户，用专业术语来讲就是“活期存款及其他支票存款”。

A NOW account and an interest-earning checking account are very similar
to each other. NOW stands for negotiable order of withdrawal and NOW
accounts are offered at many banks, mutual savings banks and savings and
loan companies.
NOW accounts are offered at many financial institutions. They are accounts which bear interest to the account holder. They are said to be like a savings account in a sense; however checks can be written against the money in the account.
checking account 支票帐户，你所开出去的支票会从这个账户提款．利息很低或无利息
