Second Chance Bank Account

Second Chance Checking

Altura Credit Union’s Reliance Checking Account is specifically designed for good people who’ve had to deal with bad times; people who have unpaid closures, negative history, problem credit. If you have questions about your history, if you aren’t certain what problems exist in your report, you can contact ChexSystems® and speak with a Consumer Relations Representative. The number is 800-428-9623.

We want to help as many people as possible make their financial lives a lot more convenient. The Reliance Checking Account comes with a Debit Card – one that looks exactly like every other card we issue.
