You could wait until the bank sends you a statement through the mail, which will show all the money entering and leaving
your account over a set period of time.
Banks used to issue statements monthly, but many have switched
to once every three or four months to save paper, and because there are now
faster methods of checking your bank balance. In fact, some banks have done away with this practice altogether.
