Second chance banks in Mississippi offer an opportunity for people to re-enter the banking system along with building a positive banking history.
Mississippi has the dubious distinction of being the state with the highest percentage of households without checking accounts or other banking services according to a FDIC survey.
Traditional bank accounts can save consumers money as fees for check cashing stores, prepaid debit cards or money orders to pay bills can add up over time. If ChexSystems is the reason you are unbanked, the following banks in Mississippi do not use ChexSystems.
Check out our list of second chance checking accounts in Mississippi. Many second chance bank accounts run a ChexSystems report.
If your ChexSystems record has unpaid debt, consider options at banks that don’t use ChexSystems or bank accounts for bad credit.
