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.
