Task 1
Complete table below.

Why use a bank account?
There are several reasons why you may want to keep you money at your local bank:
* Your money is safe from theft, damage or loss (in the UK, deposits of up to £85,000 are automatically insured under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme)
* A bank account can help save you money
* You can get hold of your money almost anywhere with a debit card
* You get regular statements about the money in your account, and your income and outgoings
* When you are older, wages can be paid directly into and bills paid directly out of your account
