Please note that there may be banks and credit unions on my lists that use a credit
report. There are times ( but not always) that a credit report (Equifax, Experian,
TransUnion) may show a debt to a previous bank. It depends on whether or not the bank
reported it to one of the bureaus. If a debt is shown on a credit report, you may still be
declined for an account even of they do not use chexsystems.

Form of Verification used by bank Credit report

Special Notes ING is a great bank if you are looking for a savings
account and possibly a checking. ANYONE can get a
savings here. They do not use chexsystems and no one
has ever reported to me that they were denied for the
savings at ING.

The do offer a checking account that is credit based. They


determine if you are eligible for the checking not with
chexsystems but a credit report instead. Some people
have no problem at all getting both a savings and
checking at ING while others have been turned down for
the checking.

The best thing about this account is that they use the
allpoint network (ATMS) and there are locations all over
the US. You can not make deposits with them but they
are free for withdraws. This account is best when used
with direct deposit. All deposits must be mailed in UNLESS
YOU LIVE NEAR A CAFE These are cafes where you can do
everything that you can do at any bank branch.

The only catch is that you must y be a US citizen or


permanent resident with a valid social security number,
be over 18, and have a personal (non-business) checking
account at another U.S. chartered bank to link the electric
orange account to.

Special Notes It has been reported that if your report is

If this is your situation you can apply
online, if not, you would need to visit an
“in store” branch.

Most US banks “in store” branches are


giving accounts to most people on
chexsystems. These are regular accounts, not
2nd chance checking...as long as you do
NOT owe US Bank money and you are not
reported on your chexsystems report for
any kind of
" fraudulent activity "

We do have a list of some locations that


have approved on our forum at
www.chexvictims.net

There are some branches that are still not


using this policy so it might be a good idea to
call a branch local to you and ask about their
policy first before going in.

Some “in store” branches have signs that


actually says “Chexsystems? no
problem!”….yet others will not open accounts
at all. People are approved everyday.

Some branches do offer 2nd chance


checking and some have been able to open
business accounts when all debt to
reporting bank(s) are paid and fraud is not
indicated
