<p>It’s a concern of mine too. I like to be able to transfer money into my students’ bank accounts on line from my Chase account, it’s very useful when they need money quickly. But there are no Chase branches near UD or ATMs as far as I can tell (other than NYCE or STAR types that accept all cards but for a fee). I was thinking of maybe opening an account at B of A and doing the same, but the nearest ATM is at Brookside Plaza/Chestnut Hill Plaza and I’m not sure how far away that is from campus.</p>
<p>Many colleges allow parents to transfer money online into student’s account. I was hoping that if UD had that perhaps I could transfer money into her student account so that she might even be able to transfer from that to a PNC account. But I’ve been trying to check out those possibilities and haven’t found any information. It looks to me like PNC has a monopolistic and pretty sweet deal between it and UDel.</p>
