If your bank account gets closed you should try to open one at Woodforest National Bank. They are mostly in Walmarts. I had been reported to chex and a friend told me that Woodforest was a 2nd chance bank. So I went and signed up for their 2nd chance banking and found out that I didn't even need to be in that program. I was able to get the regular checking with them. If you do end up with 2nd chance though it's $9.99 a month. Which isn't too bad considering what some places charge.
The other nice thing is that if you cash your paycheck and its around the same amount every time, eventually there will be no hold on it, it will clear the same day.
My husband gets a trust fund check every month. It's usually in the amount of $3,200. The first time they placed a 10 day hold on it. After that, every time I bring it in it clears immediately. I can withdraw it in seconds.
Just a suggestion for those without bank accounts, or worried about chex.
Woodforest does look at chex, but they will give you a 2nd chance account no matter what, and apparently their requirements for a regular checking account are pretty lax. Because I got one with multiple marks on my chex report.
