    Default Can You Get a Bank Job With a Bad Check Conviction on Your Record

    I had a bad check charge 20 years ago. The case was dismissed nolo prosequi. Would I need to apply for a waiver? Would this fall under the de minimis provision? I am beginning the process of having it expunged. I didn't even know it was on my records until my background was taking long (2 weeks) could this be used to deny me a job at wells fargo? I am already working there for 5 years so I assume it would have come up before

    That's a question you should be asking your employer.

    Honesty is the best policy, especially if your employer is a bank.

    I was honest. The question asked had I been convicted and the answer is no. I would assume that this showed on my initial bg check 5 years ago and I was hired with no issue. Maybe I am just over thinking because the check is taking longer this time around

    It's up to your employer if you are working in a non-financial advising section of the bank but I've never seen a dismissed charge being a problem there. The time may just be backlog (different times take different times) or perhaps they found the arrest record and they're digging to see if there's a matching conviction. Even the FINRA background checks won't care about this.

    Thank you. It is considered a (LO) loan originator position, would that change your assessment?
