Chapter 13 Bank Accts

I just started my Chapter 13 process. I have one checking account. I’m starting to get nervous about only having one account I can use. What if my account is compromised or there is fraud? I always had credit cards in case that happened and now I obviously do not.

How do other people deal with this? Do you have multiple checking accounts? Right now, I bank with a small local credit union. I don’t owe any money in the bankruptcy with the big banks (Regions, Truist, etc), should I try to get a checking account with one of the big banks just in case?
