Special Notes:
It has been reported that if your report is 21/2 yrs or older, they will not even see it. 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".
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.
