You need a checking account. PTOs have some unique needs, so the questions to ask focus on fees. For instance, you're likely to have lots of small checks from your fundraisers. It's important to find a bank that doesn't limit the number of checks you can deposing without a fee. The article When To Change Banks looks at some key issues in choosing a bank.
