There are a number of financial institutions throughout the tri-state area that offer free checking and saving services.
While neither GoodTemps nor Goodwill endorses any particular company, a free checking account is easy to acquire, and something that can save you hundreds of dollars a year versus using check cashing companies to access the money on your paycheck.
