A step toward independece. 3 months ago

soulguru is still busy planning the wedding

1 step ahead 4 months ago

After much manic searching on the net I found a bank who would let me open an account. Did the I.D checks. Waiting for welcome pack. Will be able to put my salary into the account and they pay my bills automatically and whats left they transfer onto a card which I can use to spend. At least I don’t have to worry about being in the middle of nowhere and not having access to funds when I start my job.



soulguru is still busy planning the wedding

yep it has to be done 4 months ago

New job next month, will have to set up an account. My salary goes into my partners account at the moment which is not ideal.My credit rating hasn’t been very good when I got into debt and I have been refused an account in the past.

I hate banks. 10 months ago

It was like I was annoying her by asking questions instead of just handing over my money. Well anyway, its done. The checking part at least. I’m going to look into a Credit Union for my savings though.

Damn corporate America…

MadamKelly 27 weeks along! Only 13 to go....

you gotta do this 14 months ago

$ Credit unions are way better than banks, but either one will do! I remember not having an account anywhere and having to cash checks at the grocery store, get money orders for everything…But now we have direct deposit, a checking and a savings account. It makes life much more streamlined and clean $

Watch Out 14 months ago

If you have Washington Mutual I should tell you, about 4 years ago I banked with them and had my identity stolen…twice! They didn’t notify me at all AND they were very rude! They lost over $300 out of the first account (which is a lot when your 18 and on your own!) and over $800 from the second one (which was only about 3 months later). So just watch out, I did everything right as far as being responsible and they f’ed me and blamed me, so be careful with WaMu!!
