Best Answer

Chexsystem is a national database the banks use to track people who have had problems with their banks accounts and have had them closed. The reason for closure can be as extreme as bank fraud or it can be for bounced checks, unpaid fees or other reasons. Once you're in Chexsystems you stay for 5 years, even if you pay off what you owe.
