What are some banks that do not use ChexSystems?

There are hundreds all over the country. I've included a list below that is broken down by state. A good one is People's Cash Solutions. They will open an account right now for anyone on chexsystems. This account is best when used with Direct deposit. People's Cash Solutions will connect you to Peoples Bank in Paris, TX, a bank that does not engage in subprime, and has great customer service. The only people that are denied are those that have "fraud" listed on their chexsystems reports, however, "account abuse" is not an issue.
