You are very welcome. So far it has helped a lot of people especially those that are in areas where there are very few non-chex banks.
Some people get a little confused and believe that you have to have 2500.00 to open an investment account first but you do NOT. You can open the checking without the investment.

That is where I opened my account at. I just received a box of checks and my Visa debit card in the mail. I signed up for it on line. It was very simple and easy

Quick question MCA: Do you think it's a good idea to start a "checking-like" account with an investment group right now...considering our current economy and the daily Wall Street mishaps that are occurring? I just want your input before I apply.

That is a really good question. I am not sure how to really answer it. Fidelity does seem to be doing fine. I know here in Ohio, they have commercials on all day for Fidelity. Since I added Fidelity to my list, I can't tell you how many have got accounts with them. The response is huge but that is only because there are so many states that have limited anounts of banks that are non-chex.
Have you considered any other banks or credit unions? Where exactly do you live?

I have the MySmart account since June 08 and its working fine for me. One thing I like about the account, is if you have payck direct depst you will get a the day before after 12pm. That helps alot.

Any monies deposited into your mySmart Cash Account are FDIC insured - not through fidelity but the funds are deposited via Fidelity at another bank which has FDIC protection.

I just opend an account with Fidelity and got the account numbers and everything. My only question to anyone who might know is. Are they going to send me a letter telling me that they closed my acct cuz of credit or checksys.

You should automatically get the atm card and checks after 7-10 days. You can call their Mychecksmart number on their website. They have been nothing but helpful in answering any questions I had.

Guest you can fund it through an exsiting bank account, or you can mail in a deposit, or if there's any offices near you, you can do that as well.
Forgot to add, most of us do it by direct deposit.

I would give them a call..
I called Fidelity and apparently most of the investment centers have what they call ....ADMs (Automatic Deposit Machines) where you can deposit any check made out to Fidelity or to you and they will be posted to your account.
If there is not an Investment Center local to you that has an ADM, they will send out pre-paid envelopes to mail in your deposits.
