How to Obtain a Non ChexSystems Bank Account Without Being Scammed

If you have ever written bad checks (either on purpose or by mistake), or have had other problems with a bank, there is a good chance that you are on a list maintained by a company called ChexSystems. This is not a good list to be on! If you are on the list, chances are, you are having a very difficult time getting a new bank account. If you are having a hard time finding a local bank that will allow you to open an account, you may want to try a debit card account instead.

We are however, heard of four reputable banks that include U.S. Bank (50/50 chance of approval), Bank Of America (has a high success rate to get approved, but make sure you apply On-Line.),WaMu (Washington Mutual has a 50/50 chance to get approved.).

You can try to get off the ChexSystems list (which is not impossible, but can be confusing and difficult for most people). You can search around for a bank that doesn't use ChexSystems and that will allow you to open an account even though you are on the ChexSystems list.
