This is what I wrote to Ally after they denied me for a checking account for my credit. They never disclosed they were checking my credit, and what bank denies you for that anyways? I advise not to waste your time applying with them, see below:
I am extremely unhappy with your institution for denying me for my credit score. You are the first bank to do that. I am working to repair it and when I do I won't be reapplying. I needed a solution to Bank of America and you apparently aren't it. I'm very dissatisfied and will be putting out reviews so people can save their time and not apply with you. You should have made it VERY CLEAR on the application that I might be wasting my time for 2 weeks waiting to find out you denied me and why. Ally Bank, thank you for wasting my time.

This isn't just about credit. Your history of bad checks has caught up to you.
"I won't be reapplying"
It's unlikely that you are welcome to reapply.

As stated by the previous person they did disclose it you just failed to read.
As for your other comments.
and what bank denies you for that anyways?
- They do...and you will find more and more banks and Credit Unions doing this.
Believe it or not Banks are a business not a charity. I would bet that the story behind you wanting to find another bank other than BofA is an interesting one.
Perhaps you had a few overdrafts. Perhaps you even had a negative account balance and they closed your account. I even bet that you think it wasn't your fault.
If this is even remotely the case, I can almost guarantee you that you are in ChexSystems. This is basically a Database used by Banks to see if you owe money to other banks. If you are in ChexSystems you will find that no "main" bank will allow you to open an account. After all if you "stiffed" another bank what makes them think you won't do it to them also.
If this is it the result is that you are going to have to deal with Bank of America to get it cleared up. If you don't then for the next several years you are going to be stuck with either Sub Prime(Second Chance) banks that don't look at ChexSystems or your credit, PrePaid Debit Cards, or your Mattress.
And if you thought BofA was bad or had high fees just wait until you deal with Second Chance Banks or PrePaid debit cards.
Oh and be careful about banks that allow you to open the account. Because you also agree to allow them to check your credit periodically. So at any time they may decide that they no longer want you as a customer. Unfortunately if you have money in the account they will freeze it to make sure you have no outstanding transactions and it may be a 7-10 days before they actually return your money.
