Does Wells Fargo Check Credit Before Opening Any Type Of Account?

It's unlikely you can open any bank account without the bank's checking your credit--but some banks, including Wells Fargo, offer "second chance" accounts with lenient requirements. CNN has reported:

"Wells Fargo's version of a second chance checking account, Opportunity Checking, comes with a $10 monthly fee that can only be waived with three or more qualifying linked accounts or services (like a debit card or savings accounts), and by either maintaining a $2,000 minimum daily balance or making direct deposits of at least $750 per month."
