Ordinary boring current account.
Used to be a checking account before checks were a thing of the past.
It’s had that many different names every time the bank rebrands it’s accounts and wants to discontinue a service nobody uses anymore

@Picklebobble2 Current and savings accounts, and I still occasionally use my the current account's cheque-book; most recently only two weeks ago.
Cheques may be a thing of the past for you, but not everyone. They still have their place although shops have stopped taking them. You may recall the banks had to abandon their plan to stop issuing cheque-books some years ago, because they were and still are unable to create a satisfactory alternative.
("Cheque" is the proper UK spelling for the document that certainly was, and may still be, standard to all Current Accounts. You have to request a cheque-book now. There were no "Chequing" let alone "Checking", Accounts.
"Check" is the American spelling for the bank document; and an American synonym for "test", "tick", "verify" and apparently, "pay-slip".)
