A Second Chance Checking Account is necessary if you have a record on ChexSystems or having difficulty opening a new checking account. In either case the resources on this site will help you get removed from ChexSystems as well as provide an avenue to a new bank account, credit card, ATM debit card, personal loan and credit report.

Unfortunately, if you are on ChexSystems you are practically blacklisted from over 80% of all banks and credit unions throughout the country. The good news is in most cases, based on a simple approach, you can be removed from ChexSystems and/or secure a new second chance checking bank account within a short time frame. Just because you operated a checking account with bad credit previously it doesn't mean you will be penalized for the rest of your life.

Like most things in life, time heals all, even the most scarred financial record can be healed. The key thing to bear in mind is you need to have a bank account and a credit card to be able to improve your credit rating.  The credit scoring mechanism is based on a simple formula.

If you operate your bank account sensibly by not bouncing any checks, pay off your credit card minimum balance every month, and pay your bills as they fall due, you will be rewarded with a higher credit score.  Under this scenario, it is not uncommon for a credit score to increase 100 points or more in less than 6 months. By increasing your credit score by this amount will entitle you to much lower interest rates on mortgages, personal loans and store credit and charge cards.

Irrespective of whether you are on ChexSystems, you should complete our free application.  Bear in mind not all banks are members of ChexSystems and in many cases, those that are do not have up to date information. We have seen people accepted by the bank and operating a second chance checking account for 6 months before the bank found out about their ChexSystems record.  Provided the account has been operated in accordance with the banks policies and in a financially prudent manner, no action will be taken by the bank.
