<p>There are two USBank ATMs on campus, and two branches in the small town where her school is located. She can link her account to her student ID card. It all sounds good - since the alternative is using a bank with less-convenient ATMs or one where she will have to pay a fee with every ATM swipe.</p>

<p>But I can’t find the fine print anywhere online, which troubles me.</p>

<p>I notice that the article linked about mentions USBank, but without specifics. Anyone have experience with USBank student accounts?</p>
