Your Guide To Banking Accounts With Second Chance
Fresh start checking accounts are those accounts which the bank will open for you in case you have been earlier disallowed from having an account with a particular account. There can be various things that can get you barred from opening a checking account.
The first and foremost reason for you being banned form opening an account can be that your name appears on the Chexsystems records. Chexsystems is a bank defaulters system which will have the name of all the individuals reported to it by the banks participating in the Chexsystems. Frauds in the banks are seriously looked at and that is the reason that some people will see their name on the Chexsystems list.
If your name is there then you will be denied the option to open a regular checking account. However you need not despair as there are non-Chexsystems banks which do not even subscribe to the Chexsystems theory. There are a lot of local, state or union banks and the large banks which have now looking away from the Chexsystems.
The account which they will create for you is known as the fresh start checking account. In this account you will be able to open the accounts and get an ATM or debit card. You will also get the accounts to be fully functional with one major constraint and that constraint is that you will not be able to write the regular checks.
Recently the new wave of thinking is that it is better not to have the Chexsystems as a lot of banks are of the opinion that they can manage the non-compliant better than banning the people from having no account. This has helped a lot of people who were earlier left with no bank account at all.
