Are you saying that someone could actually be so poor that a bank will refuse them from opening a checking account?

If you really don't have any money other than your paycheck, you can open that bank account....with the check you need to deposit. Virtually every bank will give you a free account if you deposit your paycheck with them.

A bank account is something everyone can have. This idea you can be too poor for a bank account is a myth.
