Re: inquiries

I don't understand the purpose of a bank checking credit for a checking account. Seems to me like a wasted INQ.

US Bank does hard pulls for new checking accounts.


They also do hard pulls for CLI's.

The moral of the story here for the rest of us is don't open checking accounts at US Bank!

I recall it is for the purpose of identity check and to make sure you won't abuse your checking account (overdraft too often).

Re: inquiries

My BoA, USAA, TTCU, Ally, ING, and Amex Savings all were opened without a SP or HP.

 

I'd be in a world of hurt, if they did, as that couldn't be good for the CS!

They can get that information straight from chexsystems. And even if it were for possible overdraft abuse, the collection would not show up like that to be indentifiable, It would be under the CA's name
