Transportation Alliance Bank TABBANK, TABBANK IS COOL! Options

[crazedoncredit]

Hello all, I just want to say that thus far TABBANK (Transportation Alliance Bank) has been the easiest account to open (one page faxed application) to open, and most trouble free checking account I have had thus far in my life. (even when I was not in Chex like I am now) The customer service and the website functions and features are really good and secure, and the ability to make remote deposits, online bill pay, and some if not the lowest fee's on items I have seen on a checking account to me makes them a all around winner. Do not waste another second "trying" to get a account, somewhere and explain chex blah blah, go get a account here and be done with it! Do it now. Nothing but good experience thus far.

Thanks!

yes TAB is a great bank that does use chexsystems but is NOT using it at this time. So this is definitely one that you may want to get while you still can

[ctm]

Do you have to be a truck driver to open this account?

[mca]

no, anyone can get an account at this bank ...they do use chexsystems but they are not at this time

TAB is a great option out there right now and a favorite of those on chexsystems. This account is best when used with direct deposit. TAB is not using chexsystems at this time. I am not sure how long this window of opportunity will stay open. Please note that unless you are near a Flying J location, that all deposits have to be mailed in. This account is best to be used with direct deposit.

[I Need help too]

Who do they pull?

I see the have the Flying J Card, I am at the J everyday!

[mca]

I have no idea what they pull. I know they used to use chexsystems but at this time they are not. But from what I can tell, NO ONE has ever reported back to me that they were denied.

[clevermonkey]

I don't know if they pulled a hard at all when they opened my account. Has anyone got one of their credit cards?

[cpugeek]

Yea TAB is the best. I did not know they have online bill pay. i will have to check into that

[Wooster]

When opening a checking account, they access information from your credit report to verify your identity, but it does not show up on any credit report. They don't use chexsystems.

However, if you are applying for a credit card through them, then they will do a hard pull.

[mca]

yes I also found out that they do not pull any credit

Mary,

We do not pull credit reports for checking accounts.
