The president and the U.S. Treasury want to take $700 billion and shore up the nation's sagging financial system, using the money mostly to buy up mortgage assets that are weighing down the balance sheets of our top institutions. At the moment, there's no money in there for you.
Are you one of the 40 million Americans in the ChexSystems database? Are you in need of a checking account? This six-hour educational program is designed to help you get access to basic financial services, namely deposit accounts (checking and savings accounts), whether you have had problems managing your accounts in the past or if you simply have never opened a deposit account.

How to choose an account that is right for you;
How to balance your checkbook and reconcile your statement;
