What financial transactions can you make at an ATM?
There are three transactions one can make at an ATM: inquiries, deposits and withdrawals. One can inquire as to how much money is in the specified account (usually a checking or a savings account).

One can withdraw money by selecting a pre-determined amount to be withdrawn or enter a specific amount to be withdrawn (most ATMs can only dispense whole dollar amounts in multiples of $10 or $20 dollars).
What is the difference between a chequing and a savings account?
A checking account is one in which you keep a certain amount of money and use it for your regular day to day transactions. For ex: to pay your phone bill, to pay for your groceries etc. Banks usually do not give you a significant interest on your deposit in this account because of the liquid nature of the account and because you can withdraw your funds anytime you want. A savings account is one in which customers save their monthly savings and they are not like the current account. Though the money is available at any time for the customer to withdraw, money is not as frequently deposited/withdrawn from it like the current account. Hence banks offer a meager interest rate for the money held in this account.

Can wife add her name to his checking account without his approval legally?
No she can't as a matter of fact without his written permission she can't even get general information about that account. This is what I found to be amazing, if this couple has a joint savings account, but the husband's name is the only one on the checking account, he is the only one that can legally transfer money from the savings account to the checking account. It also works this way if there is a joint checking account and money needs to be transferred from the joint checking account, to the savings account with only the husband's name on it, he is the only one that can move money from one account to the other. I am a bank manager and I know this is more information than you asked for, but when I have to explain this to couples, it often leads to a very heated discussion between them in my office. I live in Virginia and I can only answer for Virginia. I hope you found this answer helpful.
