Second Chance Accounts

Rebuild Your Banking Relationship

Trouble with an account in the past may be preventing you from being able to open a new account, no matter where you apply. A second chance account costs significantly less than a check cashing service, and gives you access to all of our services.

How Second Chance Accounts Work

Check cashing services typically charge anywhere between 2% and 10% of your check’s face value. This can get expensive without access to your own checking account at a local financial institution. Our Second Chance Account stipulations include:

  • A $10 monthly fee
  • A $25 minimum balance in your Savings
  • Debit card only (no checks)

Your Second Chance Account can be converted to a traditional account, which includes no monthly fees, no minimum balance, and access to checks by:

  • Maintaining your Second Chance Account in good standing for 12 months without any new unpaid items reported to our ChexSystems
  • Proof of completing two of the following courses provided by credit.org
