I don't want to turn this into a banking spam-fest, but I use PNC bank. 
The deal with PNC and our non-profit
( http://www.communitysuccess.org ),
is that PNC will open a checking account for anyone getting out of 
prison or jail for any amount of money. fee free, and they come to our 
office to teach budget/banking classes for free to our clients. PNC has 
been GOOD to us. :) Ric
