ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi everyone. I have 3 options with my bank accounts. A savings account, a value checking account, & a consumer interest checking account. The savings has hardly any history so it would just be the 500k over last 3 months once I apply, the value checking has some history but not nearly as much as consumer interest checking which shows several very large transactions, however it is interest bearing. Which one is ideal?

Personal bankaccounts with liquid money is what they want to see. No investment accounts. A history is best but not a written requirement. They may ask for source of funds without visible history. Good luck
