First, you will need to find a financial institution where you can open a checking account. You will likely need to provide them with your basic information such as your name, address, and Social Security Number. 2 Next, you will need to make an initial deposit into the account in order to open it. The amount required to open a checking account is usually small, such as $25. 3 Then, you will be able to confirm the type of account you chose or have assigned to you (such as a checking account, savings account, or joint account). 4 Lastly, you will need to make sure you have a way to access the account, such as through their app or website, or with a debit card.
