I called our local chapter (2900+ branches nationwide) to get information.

If you're in the ChexSystem, they will not open an account UNLESS you have a letter from prior bank stating that all checks have been paid with them.
Savings Accounts: $5 to open

Calling back to find out what criteria is needed for mc/visa. Will update.
