Withdrawals

• A withdrawal is your request and authorization for and receipt of cash from your bank account at your bank. Withdrawals can take place via an in-person teller or automated teller machine (ATM). They will be recorded on your bank statement and list the amount and location of the withdrawal.
  
  

Checks

• Checks, like all your banking transactions, will be recorded on your bank statement. However, a check will show the check number and the person or company to which it was written in addition to the amount. Depending on your bank or credit union, the name of the person or business to which you wrote the check may not appear in the line items online, but you can click on the transaction link to see an image of the check itself. Many bank statements also include actual check images.
  
  

Cash Back

• If you have a debit card tied to your bank account, you can use it at various locations for cash back at your point of sale (POS). Again, this will still show on your bank statement, but it will show up as part of your overall purchase. For example, rather than withdrawing money at your bank (in-person or via ATM), you can buy a single item at many grocery stores with your bank account debit card and authorize cash back; the charge will show up on your statement, but it will be included in your overall market purchase.
  
  

PayPal

• The electronic transfer of money is commonplace these days, and PayPal (at the time of publication) is the definitive service. In short, PayPal supports electronic payments and money transfers without revealing your bank account information. PayPal itself requires your bank account information -- if you choose to tie it to your bank account -- for verification and transaction purposes, but, once you set up your account, you can electronically transfer money to other PayPal-registered individuals and businesses. Like withdrawals, checks and cash-back transactions, any payments you make via PayPal will be recorded on your bank statement. How your PayPal debit is listed depends on how you use your account or classify your debit, i.e. payment, gift or money owed.
