Open up a Free Checking Account at Wachovia and get $50 free.
I’m already a Wachovia customer so the sign-up process was expedited. The best part is “No monthly service fee, no minimum balance requirement, and no direct deposit requirement” and it’s only $100 to open.
Note: Make sure you check no to paper checks, unless you really want them. Wachovia usually charges $20-$25 for a box of paper checks.
How much are the checks?
From my experience with my other free checking account, a box of checks was $20. This was over a year ago and they may have increased the price.
