When does 2nd Chance Checking happen?

Answer 1

An individual who was denied a standard checking account at a bank due to poor credit may sometimes be able to open a 'Second Chance' checking account instead. These accounts are generally worse than normal accounts due to higher fees, but they are an option for people who have no other way to open an account.

Answer 2

2nd Chance Checking typically happens when someone has had previous banking issues, such as a history of bounced checks or unpaid overdraft fees. It is a type of bank account that is designed to give individuals a second opportunity to have a checking account, even with a negative banking history.
