Life After Bankruptcy… 2nd chance bank spotlight: People’s Bank

The process of bankruptcy is about getting a fresh start, but some of the choice made in your prior financial life may have created problem with opening a traditional bank account.

In course of researching the issue of post bankruptcy life, I came across another alternative banking solution if you’re caught in the CHEX Systems dungeon. It’s a real bank that ignores this kiss of death.

It’s offered through the People’s Bank of Paris Texas, an FDIC insured national bank. They offer a program called The Peoples Cash Solution which offers a FDIC insured checking account, Master Card ATM card, direct deposit, checking writing, on-line banking and transfers. They have an on-line application process with no monthly fee.

You do not have to be a resident of Texas to open an account, and there are joint accounts available. The only limitation to this account is that they will not allow you to open an account if the CHEX System or TeleCheck report shows fraudulent activity. They can be reached at peoplescashsolutions.com .

Shaking Off the Shackles of CHEX Systems: Wells Fargo Second Chance Program

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Currently, I’m familiar with one banking program offered through Wells Fargo that allows people who are recently going through and completed bankruptcy and are in CHEX Systems to open an account (with an ATM card).

Their offer is simple: they want your business, but for a period of time your account will be restricted and if you comply with the terms of the account (i.e. no bounced checks) you will be allowed to convert to an unrestricted checking and savings account. I applaud Wells Fargo for their foresight since a lot of people find themselves in need of banking services but have been cut off by their prior circumstances. They seem to understand basic business principals of treating the customer fairly and providing strict guidelines that lead to greater business for them.
