<p>I was wondering what banks are in the area. Which ones would students recommend?</p>
<p>We use the Notre Dame Federal Credit Union</p>
<p>How does the Notre Dame Federal Credit Union work? Is it a separate bank or is it something the students can just transfer their existing accounts to for the school year. And is there a stupid service charge for using the ATM?</p>
<p>yeah good question...i have money in national city bank. do i need to switch?</p>
<p>I am not a customer of ND Federal as there is a Wells Fargo in town and I use them. I think their ATM is free for their members but I am not sure about others, it may be free for everyone. I also don't know where they all are located but I know there is one by Reckers and I think they are also located in LaFun and by the stadium I think at the Joyce, but I am not sure. If you want access to your money on-campus and may make deposits on-campus you may as well open an account. Otherwise, it is probably not into it. BTW, on-campus jobs do use direct deposit so no worries there.</p>
