Nowadays, it can be really hard to find a bank that doesn’t use credit reporting agencies in New Mexico. But have no fear! Other options might be even better. A second chance bank account is a version of a standard checking account offered by a financial institution that doesn’t work with a credit reporting agency like EWS or ChexSystems. The bank can still check your history, but because it is a second chance bank, it offers an account with a slightly higher monthly payment.
At the end of the day, it’s not about giving out a loan or mortgage, but about letting you manage your funds!
If you’re having a hard time getting past a regular checking account, perhaps, due to your past financial mishaps or challenges, the Bank of Albuquerque offers a second chance checking account through its Opportunity Banking Account.

However, you’ll need a minimum initial deposit of $50 to open an account and there’s a monthly service fee, which can be reduced if you enroll in a qualifying direct deposit.
Nonetheless, here’s are some other features of the account:
This bank is located in and around Albuquerque and Rio Rancho.
