Title: second chance checking


1
Following Option Checking out Accounts and even
Your Options One can find plenty of good reasons
individuals end up in a poor personal
circumstance and even must obtain several
solutions to money checks and even pay bills and
even this leads to the search for a second chance
checking account. You are not alone despite a
tough and stressful situation. There are options
out there to help ease the burden. These options
will be explained in detail in the following.
However you should know this term covers a wide
array of products which financial institutions
use to help keep you in the system, giving you
access to the basic services. If you have bad
credit, or if you have been reported to
ChexSystems, you will have to use these options.
You will not be able to use your old bank until
you have repaid any money that you owe. However,
you still have the option to use another
institution. Many will offer you a savings
account with an attached debit card. Because you
only have access to the actual amount in your
account, not only are you saved from making a
mistake and going in debt. But the bank is also
protected because you are only spending your own
money. You can usually obtain these without a
credit check.

They will allow you the flexibility of paying
your bills over the phone or online. You will
also be able to rent a car, purchase gas at the
pump, reserve travel accommodations... with it.
However you should expect to pay a small service
fee of less than fifteen dollars a month.

The downside is that these accounts do report to
the major bureaus. If you do not have an
outstanding balance with your old bank, you may
qualify for a secured Visa or MasterCard. These
require you to deposit money into a saving
account that is attached. The balance is then
used to secure the line of credit on your card.
These come with guaranteed approval provided you
can secure your account with a deposit. Only some
of these will report to the bureaus, therefore it
is important to read the fine print and find
out! With these you are still required to make a
monthly payment. Your deposit simply guarantees
the bank that they will not lose money in case
you do default on payments. You are still charged
an Annual Percentage Rate somewhere in the range
of 10-15. You deposit is fully refundable if
you close your account in good standing.
