Financial Management

Get Checking Wisconsin

GET CHECKING is designed for people who currently do not have an account with a financial institution.  Some people have never had an account and don’t know how to start while others may have had problems with an account in the past which is making it difficult to open an account now.  This program offers the opportunity to open an account with a participating financial institution even if there have been problems in the past.  Participants will learn how to choose the right account, how to avoid costly bank fees, how to balance a checkbook, how to establish good credit, and how to budget money.
