Is Opening A Bank Account A Soft Or Hard Pull?

fThat depends on who the bank account is with. Most banks will simply do a soft pull on your credit report (this doesn’t affect your credit score at all), but some banks (especially those who offer a line of credit, such as overdraft protection) will do a hard pull on your credit file. Below we’ve listed banks and whether they do a hard or soft pull, along with the source of this information. If you have another data point, please let us know in the comments.

Capital One 360

  • Capital one will do a hard credit pull for a checking account only if you opt for overdraft protection. As long as you opt out there will only be a soft pull. Their savings account only has a soft pull done. This is also answered on their website which can be found by clicking here.
