Turns out CITI called me directly to get my OK on opening the new account. They had discovered my credit record had a fraud alert when they attempted to access the record to verify my identity. All I had to do was give the rep my verbal OK and they went ahead and opened up the account. Funny thing — even b/f I spoke with the rep, I had received my CITI debit card and pin # in the mail.

Hi Scott, open a checking account at Citi and BOA will get a hard pull. But I think Chase is doing soft pull.Or you might find some banks that only do ChexSystems check.

Not sure if CITI doing just a “soft pull” would work in my case — I have a Fraud Alert on my credit record. The CITI rep said “we don’t access your credit record”, but the above info seems to say they do, if just to verify your identity.

Anyone have any experience opening a bank account with the bank doing a soft pull against a person’s credit record when they have a Fraud Alert on it?

Coulee Bank ( http://www.couleebank.net ) offers an incredible 6.01% APY with their Rewards Checking account. The rate is easy to earn. All you have to do is make 10 check card transactions a month, use e-statements, and do 1 automatic payment a month (they call it ACH). Coulee Bank pays 6.01% on the first $25,000 and 1.01% on anything above that. The best thing about this account besides the rate is it is FREE, you can apply online, and it is from a great bank with real people that answer the phone. And as they like to say, Banking Green has its Rewards. The Rewards Checking account saves paper and preserves our natural resources. No wonder I feel good about recommending this to everyone I know. Check it out. I guarantee you will love it.
