Having a relationship with a bank is very important if you want to have good credit.

This relationship can be as simple as a checking or savings account. Savings accounts can also help families start building their personal wealth.  For various reasons, however, many of us may not have a relationship with a bank.  The following organizations can help you open up bank accounts, and work with you to clear up any past issues you may have.
