Even if you have certain ChexSystems entries, you could still get approved for an account with Del-One. To qualify, you can only have one bank reported on your record and the outstanding charges must have been paid at least 12 months ago. You also can’t have any record of fraud to get approved.

Del-One’s Regular Checking has no monthly fee or minimum balance, but you can earn interest on balances of $500 or more. You need just $5 as your opening deposit to get started. The account comes with both a debit card and unlimited check writing, plus online and mobile banking.

To become a member of Del-One, you must live, work, or worship in Georgetown, Milford, Newark, Wilmington, or West Dover, Delaware.

Branch locations can be found in Dover, Wilmington, New Castle, Georgetown, Smyrna, Dagsboro, West Dover, Seaford, Milford, and Newark.

DEXSTA actually pays you for being a member with its cash-back debit card. With its free KASAKA checking account, you’ll earn 3% back up to $72 per year on everyday purchases, including groceries, gas, and more. There are no category restrictions.

You’ll also get up to $25 in ATM fees per month refunded, should you encounter them, and free online and mobile banking tools so you can control your money on the go.

To reap these features, you’ll have to meet DEXSTA’s easy qualifications each month: logging into your online or mobile banking, agreeing to receive electronic statements, and making 12 debit card purchases.

But, even if you don’t do that stuff, the account is still free and accessible to those with less-than-perfect credit history.
