Capital One 360 is for people with better credit than the folks in the article have. If you have means then you get better investments. Heck, a lot of the people in the article are rejected just trying to open a bank account.

AmEx allow direct deposit to their Bluebird card which is another Walmart card.

They don't pull your credit to open an account, so I don't see how that's true. I've had one since I was 18 (and had no credit history to speak of).

No credit is different than bad credit. They do claim they stopped using Chexsystems as an additional check but they still check credit.

A lot of financial institutions like to offer products to 18 year olds. Ask about credit cards issued to college students.

I'm sure they pull chexsystems.

ChexSystems is different than a credit report. They can clear you even if you don't have any credit or have bad credit.
