0 money down. Waived fees. Checking made easy.

Most places will tell you that you need a good credit score in order to get credit (like an account or loan). So what are you supposed to do if you don’t already have a good credit history? Open an Opportunity Checking account. It’s designed specifically for people who are looking to rebuild or establish their credit. And once you’re on your way to a better credit score, you’ll have the option to upgrade to a Choice Checking account.
