Bank Account Tips

5 Tips for Setting Up Bank Accounts
  1. Look for student accounts with low/no required balances, unlimited check writing and low/no cost access to nearby Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs).
  2. Ask about fees for bounced checks (writing a check without sufficient funds to cover the amount).
  3. Do not allow the bank to print your Social Security number, driver's license, or other personally identifiable information on your checks.
  4. Understand the terms and conditions of your bank account(s) and ask questions if you don't understand fees and charges.
  5. After your account is set up, consider using a program such as Quicken, Microsoft Money or Mint.com to keep track of your spending.
