when you insert your card it asks if you're using chequing or savings, when u tap its directly from chequing

Interesting, I have never experienced that. Here in the UK a debit card is associated with a single account, and savings accounts don’t have cards (typically).

In the US checking accounts and savings accounts are usually tied together and use a singular debit card. You can open just a savings account though.

I think OP is in the US, we don’t really have chip and PIN here per se, transactions are authorized real-time with the bank. We only need a pin if it’s a debit transaction, but most transactions are handled through the Visa or Mastercard network, even if a direct withdrawal from a checking account.

In the US, you may get credit or debit choices. Not always though, some just default to taking it as credit, without a PIN required.
