It is possible that you two can open a joint account, they will look at your and her credit both. With your good they may allow her an account,
Often if you go to the bank you deal with, and talk to them in person.

A joint account is the only option that I can see.

Why would they balk at giving her a checking account? Unless she has a history of passing bad checks, that wouldn't make sense.

Scott many banks look at your creidt history and our credit score, if you have too low of score they will not give you a checking account,
Of course that is a good reason to deal with your local small town bank where they know you by name.
