bank branches / cash machines

<p>We wondered if there no fee cash machines on campus? Which national banks have branches in the Claremont Village?</p>

<p>There's a Bank of America ATM in the Smith Center: <a href="http://www.pomona.edu/smithcampuscenter/services/atm.shtml%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.pomona.edu/smithcampuscenter/services/atm.shtml&lt;/a>. There's also a BOA branch in Claremont Village as well as branches of California Bank & Trust and Wells Fargo. Foothill Independent Bank is up on Foothill Boulevard: <a href="http://claremontchamber.org/cw_1040.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://claremontchamber.org/cw_1040.htm&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>There's also a Washington Mutual branch in the town:

<p>is there a wachovia anywhere by any chance?</p>

<p>Not according to the Wachovia website.</p>

<p>thanks for the info!</p>

<p>What do those of you on the east coast do for money? Do you have a checking account out west or anything like that?</p>

<p>D went with Bank of America since there are branches and ATMs virtually everywhere. We opened up the account at a local (home) branch. With national banks, it doesn't matter where the account is opened; you can get access for deposits and withdrawals wherever there's a branch/ATM.</p>

<p>What sort of account does your daughter have? My parents and I are debating about whether or not I should go with a debit card or just a regular savings account.</p>

<p>Whichever account you open, your ATM card can also serve as a debit/credit card (Visa). From what I understand, if you use it as a credit card, you (1) will not incur a service charge on your account and (2) will not be liable for any fraudulent use. It will still be deducted automatically from your account.</p>
