this is from the Class of 2012 Website:

"Although Ithaca isn’t a big city, you still have quite a few options when it comes to banking. As a general rule, anything “on campus” is walkable; anything in collegetown is either a 15-20min walk or you can take the TCAT; East Hill Plaza, The Commons, downtown, and Pyramid Mall are all TCAT or drive required – although for the adventurous, you can get anywhere in about an hour walk each way.

There are several banks in the Cornell and Ithaca area.

* M&T Bank- The most popular student choice for banking, there are offices in Willard Straight Hall on campus, collegetown, and several around Ithaca. There are M&T ATMs everywhere there is an office, plus places like the Pyramid Mall. M&T is actually a large (top 50) bank in assests (30 bil or so)

Cornell FingerLakes Credit Union (CFCU) - A community bank with a branch in the Cornell Store and ATMs on campus

Tompkins Trust - Ithaca is in Tompkins County, NY, and Tompkins Trust is the local regional bank. Like CFCU, there is a branch and ATM in the Cornell store as well as around Ithaca.

HSBC - A global bank (good for international students) with an ATM in WSH and an office across from the Pyramid Mall.

Bank of America - Although Bank of America is a huge bank, their presence in Ithaca isn’t. There is an ATM in Collegetown and a branch in The Commons, but with no branch/atm on campus, you might have to put a little extra effort into your banking."
