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 .

NOTE: I have no direct experience with this bank, this information is offered solely as a point of reference, so please conduct your own research.

Post Bankruptcy and Saving Money without A Savings Account

Friday, August 21st, 2009

If you’re in CHEX Systems or shut out from opening a traditional savings account you still can save money.

If you have a job with a company that offers a 401k program your name appearing in CHEX Systems will not disqualify you from opening an account or ramping up your contributions.

I highly suggest you go to company’s payroll or human resources department and open a 401k account immediately as this will provide you a means to save money – even though it is restricted. If you’re already signed, up ask that a greater percentage of your check be withheld.

Money deposited into your 401k plan is usually tax deferred – you don’t pay taxes on that money until its withdrawn. You may also be able to open an IRA with your local bank or an on-line brokerage company if your company does not have a 401k plan or you are self-employed.
