Tried in branch and was denied for Chex. No idea what my count is. However, the banker did read off my last few hits to me to confirm it was me lol
It will let you enter an OOS address and advance through the app, but after a bit it will ask how you qualify to join and that’s where you’ll need to be a MI resident.
I am OOS and just submitted the app with Chex and all 3 credit reports locked, I chose the last option for qualification – I go to MI for business or something like that. App went pending, I don’t count it to be successful.
Let me know if you have success with this
I considered choosing the option about doing business in MI, but I’ve never even stepped foot in that state. haha
How sure that this will work? Have you tried this before with other Banks?
