As you may already know, over 80% of all banks in the U.S. use
ChexSystems to verify new accounts. The banks that do not use
ChexSystems are commonly known on the Internet as “Non-ChexSystems
Banks”.
Why a Non-ChexSystems Bank?
The answer is quite obvious. Since
Non-ChexSystems Banks do not check
with ChexSystems before opening a new account, you will not have to
worry about them running your ChexSystems report. These types of banks
will usually run some other form of consumer reporting service, such as
Telecheck or a credit report. So, for this reason, it is important you
know what type of verification service a bank is using before you decide
to open a new account with them.
Where to Find a Non-ChexSystems Bank
Ten years ago, the Internet was still young and it didn’t have as
much information about ChexSystems as it does now. Today, you can find a
ton of websites offering all types of information and services for
ChexSystems issues. Among them, you’ll be able to find websites offering
lists of Non-ChexSystems Banks. Most of these lists are readily
available and free to use, so if you happen to land on a website that is
charging a fee for this kind of information, you should leave
immediately.
