Which term describes the Chex-Systems network that shares information on closed checking and savings accounts among member institutions to assess risk?

• A. Chex-Systems
• B. Closing Costs
• C. Delayed Gratification
• D. Marketing Strategies

Answer: (A)

ChexSystems is the network banks use to share information on closed checking and savings accounts to assess risk. It acts as a consumer reporting agency focused on deposit accounts, so member institutions can see whether a person has had issues with past accounts (like closures for cause or repeated overdrafts) and decide how risky it might be to open a new account. The other options don’t fit because they refer to unrelated concepts—Closing Costs are real estate fees, Delayed Gratification is a behavioral idea about delaying rewards, and Marketing Strategies are methods for promoting products.
