Wells Fargo - Opportunity Checking
This is a traditional checking account with a visa debit card and checks; however, it comes with
some restrictions. This account will definitely help you stay within your budget. Deposits cannot
be made through the ATM and you may not be able to get cash back immediately upon
depositing a check. Once you remain in good standing for some time, Wells Fargo may offer
you an upgrade to a regular checking account, with less restrictions.
BBVA Compass
Compass offers a second chance checking account. This is a basic checking account offering
a visa debit card and no minimum balance required. There is unlimited check writing along with
a $7.95 monthly service charge. The minimum opening deposit is $25.
USAA Savings
You will have to call and get a member number first. Then you will be able to open a checking
account. The bank is located in Texas but they will send you postage paid envelopes for
deposits or you can sign up for direct deposit. You will receive a Debit Mastercard. The call
may take 15 minutes or so but the representatives are very nice and professional.
Chase
Chase offers an account called Access Checking. It comes with several limitations but you may
be able to convert to a regular checking account after 6 months in good standing. You will
receive a debit card with this account. You must go into the branch to open the account and
they do pull your credit report for verification.
Woodforest Bank
This bank is not available in all states; however, they do have an account called "Second
Chance Checking. It comes with unlimited check writing and a debit mastercard. You must go
inside a branch in order to open this second chance checking account.
Fidelity Investments
This may be a last resort for some people. It is not a traditional bank but a brokerage firm. The
brokerage account requires a minimum of $2,500 to open; however, once you open it, you will
have the choice of funding it at a later date. The good news is they offer a checking account
called "Mysmart Cash Account". There is no minimum opening balance, no monthly fees, free
standard checks and you will get a visa debit card. The process takes about 20 minutes online
to open. First you open the brokerage account then you will be allowed to open the checking
account.

Living without a checking account is not only inconvenient but also costly. Check cashing fees
can be expensive and add up over time. I do not have to tell you all the reasons why you need
a checking account. Convenience alone outweighs many of the reasons.
