| At most colleges, banking info is available at orientation, and there are lots of "student oriented" credit card offers available. Banks are EAGER to signup young users. I would wait until your kid has chosen a college, then look at the atm's and banks available near campus. Many colleges have atm's on campus linked to one bank- and that bank is usually the most convenient to sign up with. Often these student accounts have no fees/low balance limits/ expanding credit card limits etc. The banks are looking to lure customers in now, so that when the student graduates they will continue as customers. |
