Good morning everyone. Last month, I wrote Cannot Apply for US Bank Checking Account Online with Frozen ARS/IDA Credit Reports, Must Apply In-Branch in which I explained that US Bank was not able to approve my online application for a bank account because I have my ARS and IDA credit reports frozen. Stefan @ Rapid Travel Chai experienced the same issue. After calling US Bank to inquire about the issue, the rep advised me to apply in-branch for the US Bank Power Up Checking Account. The current checking account sign up bonus is $125 after receiving 1 direct deposit of $500 or more and making 2 bill payment transactions in the first month (full details at Doctor of Credit’s website).
