<p>Folks who already have kids at Elon, can you tell me what banks/ATM machines are withing walking distance of campus? My D (who is going to be a freshman there next fall) is about to move her checking/savings account to a new bank (the old one is local and going out of business) and we figure it makes sense to move things over to Wells Fargo or Bank of America or whatever national chain is close by her college-to-be. Any suggestions? She probably won't have a car the first year. Thanks you.</p>
<p>Wells Fargo…make sure they know she is going to Elon; all branches around the country have access to the free checking etc that is offered during orientation…</p>
<p>She can tie the debit card to her Phoenix card in the fall (if she wants to); my daughter keeps the 2 separate but her choice…</p>
<p>Bank of America has an ATM machine closeby but it is not as convenient without a car…</p>
<p>Last year there was an option to have a Wells Fargo account linked to the Phoenix card so that it could also be used as an ATM card–one less card to carry! Might be worth calling to be sure before she changes her bank…hope that helps!</p>
<p>Helps a lot, thanks. I saw online the whole thing about the Phoenix card (I am guessing they use that for dining hall, laundry, etc.) and having it link to Wells Fargo makes great sense. I appreciate all the help here. Thank you.</p>
<p>Is there a Wells Fargo ATM on campus, or near campus, in that more retail area near the bookstore?</p>
<p>Yes, there is. Inside Moseley.</p>
<p>Ooh, great. Inside Moseley seems very convenient. Thank you!</p>
<p>Does Wells Fargo operate internationally? I’m wondering if she decides to study abroad, can she use her Wells Fargo account while she is over there. We set up a USAA account for our son at Vandy and he was able to use it while he was over there which was really nice.</p>
<p>My son used his Wells Fargo card in Senegal this past semester. No problems.</p>
<p>Bank of America’s ATM is an easy walk from campus, just across the train tracks on North Williamson.</p>
<p>If your bank’s ATM software puts you to sleep, you should see what Wells Fargo is offering. The banking giant’s [ATM</a> Cash Tracker system](<a href=“https://personalmoneynetwork.com/]ATM”>https://personalmoneynetwork.com/) tests an ATM customer’s previous transaction history and supplies the consumer with customized banking choices and advertising. Wells Fargo is banking on the sleek new design being a big customer draw.</p>
<p>How far is the BOA ATM from campus? Wells Fargo isn’t in New England so it doesn’t make sense for D.</p>
<p>^^ definitely walking distance to the ATM; across the tracks, across the street from the post office</p>
<p>Thank you rodney!</p>
