Equitable bank here used to give you a Welcome Check card with your
account.  You had to do nothing to get it.  No one seemed to think
they were any special.  Even a store with a welcome check decal in
the window was uninterested in the fact that I had one.  Colorado banks
are a different story.  You don't get a check guarantee without a
credit check and the back guarantees (really) bad check reinbursement.
Most places to have faith in these even to the point of gas stations
accepting checks (which is unheard of here in MD).
