<p>What's the best campus bank for the following:</p>
<p>online banking
checking accounts
easy access to campus ATM's
fund transfers</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo, BofA all have atms on campus (there might be a few more banks, not sure). </p>
<p>All of those also have online banking and decent checking programs. </p>
<p>Transfers should also be easy if it's a major bank. </p>
<p>So yeah. I think it's really just whatever you prefer. Or you can do the credit union, but it will make transfers, etc more difficult.</p>
<p>are there actuals individual boa atms? where are they?
i thought that all the atms are just credit union operated and charge no fees.</p>
<p>There's a Bank of America Atm in Ackerman on A level. I'm pretty sure. Haven't been in there in a while.</p>
<p>There might be more but I don't use Bank of America so I don't really know.</p>
<p>Nope, each bank has their own ATMs on campus</p>
<p>There are ATMs operated by the banks in Ackerman on A level, as allie says, as well as at the area near the north campus student center (next to Campbell Hall).</p>
<p>in ackerman, there is: one full WaMu ATM, one WaMu ATM with either deposit or withdrawal only (forgot what it is), three BofA ATMs, and i think one or two Wells Fargo ATMs. </p>
<p>if i had to pick, i would go with WaMu. IMO, the ABSOLUTE BEST free checking account there is. the wamu free checking account is supposed to have free outgoing wire transfers, but when i goto "transfer funds" online it says not available with your account type. i should call them about that.</p>
<p>but other options are:</p>
<p>wells fargo has a college checking with waived monthly fee if you enroll in online statement delivery, but they charge a $1 fee per month you use your check card!!!</p>
<p>bofa has campusedge checking which is free for 5 years while you're a student, then it turns into MyAccess checking with $5.95 monthly fee (waived with direct deposit).</p>
<p>citi has a college checking account, which has no monthly fee. when you graduate, it converts to the citibank account ($6000 min balance, or else 12.50 monthly fee). but, they do have free incoming and outgoing transfers between other banks.</p>
<p>so yeah, WaMu is the simplest. Free checking. For life. With free checks for life. Free gold debit mastercard. No need to fuss around proving you're a student or having the account automatically "upgraded" after a certain amount of time.</p>
<p>Yeah I've had Wamu forever and it's been good. Super easy.</p>
<p>boa is pretty simple too. and we dont get charged the one dollar fee for using the check card :) hahah
but yeah...im probably going to switch to wamu when my free student checking is over in a couple of years.</p>
<p>I currently use Wamu (pretty good, no problems so far) and I will continue to use that UCLA</p>
<p>allie: when you mean campus banking, do you mean a branch on Campus or just an ATM?</p>
<p>i have had bank of america, wells fargo , western financial and WAMU. WAMU is by FAR The best. </p>
<p>i pretty much have wells fargo and bof A./ they have outragoues fees for overages.</p>
<p>Atm. The only branch-ish thing on campus is the university credit union. </p>
<p>Washington Mutual and Citi definitely have branches in Westwood. I'm sure the others do too, but I'm not positive.</p>
<p>for some reason in the va lley there is a wamu on every dam corner</p>
<p>BoA has a branch... maybe several stores down from Burger King.</p>
<p>ALlie where is the nearest union bank</p>
<p>^ I think WAMU's headquarters are in Northridge. At least, that's where all my statements come from.</p>
<p>in westwood there is a BofA, Citibank, and Washington Mutual, in order of distance from ackerman (all on the same street).</p>
<p>BofA is right past burger king, Citi is near Chili's, and WaMu is all the way down by Wilshire.</p>
<p>^Yes. </p>
<p>And by the way, the fact that Wamu is soo. far. makes me angry a lot. </p>
<p>Just sharing.</p>
<p>Well, WAMU will be across the street from my apartment next year. :) There's no WAMU ATMs on campus?</p>
<p>theres three, as mentioned earlier. one full ATM in ackerman, one "half" ATM in ackerman, and one full one in north campus near Campbell/Rolfe/YRL.</p>
