My S is a rising Junior from OOS. He does not have a local bank account - he keeps his OOS one and I’m on that account too and can do a bit of helicopter banking for/with him. Phone apps can deposit checks wireless-ly into accounts…you can get cash back from any retail transaction (use retailers as ATM)…bills are paid solely online…

My point to families new to UA: don’t be scared about not having a local banking account for your student. It is very possible for OOS students to function perfectly fine without a local bank account in Tuscaloosa. If you are happy w/ your current OOS bank, stick with them.
