I have opened paypal ac, but it is unverified. How can i open a us bank ac to verify my paypal? Is it free?

are you here in the U.S.? if so, all you have to do is go down to a bank and tell them you'd like to open a free checking account. i know for sure bank of the west and chase offer free checking. i believe there's other's that do as well. i know you need at least one form of ID. i don't remember if i needed my social security number or not though.
