Second Chance Checking Accounts

Ready for a fresh start?

Even if your checking track record is less than perfect, you can still open this account.

A new beginning

Second Chance Checking comes with everything you expect from a regular checking account—it’s just a little easier to get qualified. If you have some dings on your ChexSystems record, this is the option for you.

Plus, once you’ve got a clean track record for a little while, we can transfer you over to our Preferred Checking account.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We do not give a free box of checks with a new checking account. If you would like to order a box of checks, you may ask any branch or contact center staff, or do so by visiting http://www.ordermychecks.com/login_a.jsp.

  • Our primary checking accounts do not have a monthly fee. However, we offer a Second Chance Checking account for those that do not qualify for our primary checking product; there is a $12 monthly fee for that account. View rates and fees here.

  • No. We don’t want our members to have to worry about keeping a minimum balance in their checking account.
