I had recently opened a Chase savings account and a checking account. I planned on using my checking account as a direct deposit. Would automating transfers from checking to savings prevent my savings account becoming dormant? I was wondering if this would be valid for checking to checking as well.

    Ask Chase. The policy is almost certainly specific to your savings account type and institution. Jun 16, 2018 at 4:08

In general I have found that any transaction, besides an interest payment, will be enough to keep an account non-dormant.

In many cases activity in any related account is enough to keep all the related account non-dormant, but it might be possible that your bank doesn't extend this courtesy. You will have to ask.

If they require activity in the savings account, a small automatic transfer with each paycheck should more than meet the criteria for activity.
