PNC Bank

<p>PNC seems okay, I haven’t noticed any extra or hidden fees or any fees at all. PNC seems to have branches in many states which could make it convenient for some (I saw one in Ann Arbor Michigan during my son’s graduation weekend and a branch in LA when I visited my sister). I would rather have had my regular bank, but unfortunately there’s no Chase branch on or near enough to campus. </p>

<p>Still I’ve let my daughter keep her Chase ATM card which she’s able to use all over with no problem. We also opened a PNC account for her. It takes about 3 days when I transfer funds from my bank to PNC electronically over the web. We’ll probably keep the PNC account next year but I don’t think it’s really necessary if there is another bank you prefer and can easily transfer money into your daughter’s account at home or online.</p>

<p>There is also a Citizens Bank on Main Street which wouldn’t be any problem for your daughter to keep or open an account there if it is more convenient for you.</p>
