Since banks have to protect their interests from such financial irresponsibility or indiscipline, and to ensure that only financially responsible individuals operate a checking account, several countries have in place, organizations or databases containing information about individuals considered ‘unwanted customers’ that banks generally have access to.

The ChexSystems is one of such organization. It is considered one of the major check systems in the United States and it is basically an association of several financial institutions that have networked together to create a common database where the records of customers considered financially irresponsible and thus unwanted are compiled.

ay this works is that, once an individual's checking account is closed due to what a bank considers financial mismanagement, which could range from serious acts of fraud to trivial financial irresponsibility such as continuously overdrawing your account, the bank reports the individual to the ChexSystems. Once an individual’s record gets to the ChexSystems database, every financial institution affiliated with the database considers the person an unwanted customer and for the five next five years, opening a checking account becomes virtually impossible.
