Question: Are you allowed to have more than one checking account? a friend of mine is wanting to open up another one with a bank and I could not tell her if that was possible or not

Answer: Yes, but I would suggest using the same bank. The reason: Let's say you want to transfer some money from one account to another, if your money is in two different banks, you either have to write a check from one to the other, or take out cash. Both can be a pain if it is a large amount. With both accounts in the same bank, you can easily transfer your money online, and usually without a fee. Hope this helps your friend.
