Global Banks.

<p>What banks are there in Austin that are well represented globally?</p>

<p>As an international, it would be better to for my parents to remit cash if said banks have branches in other countries and also LA (port of entry).</p>

<p>I asked a similiar question before and was givent the name of 2 banks, Wells Fargo and Washington Mutual.</p>

<p>As I am not familiar with either of these banks, could someone give more information on these 2 /alternative banks?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>A bank is a bank...look them up and find one you like.</p>

<p>razr probabbly want to know what banks his parents can deposit money internationally and be able to use a card from that bank in austin....
i'm in houston, and i haven't decided which bank i'm going to use either.</p>

<p>I'm betting Wells Fargo - since WF is pretty much the "main" bank I see throughout the UT system.</p>

<p>Bank of America has a TON of ATMs around campus, and a bank right on Guadalupe...I'm probably going to use them.</p>

<p>Here's the URL to a UT International Office website for Banking and Financial Matters that lists some global banks.</p>

<p>ok, i'm doing wellsfargo right now.</p>

<p>ortaluce, you said you've seen wellsfargo around campus.... where?
i looked on the bank/atm locator for wellsfargo and the closest one is on the drag diagonal from dobie. </p>

<p>are there wellsfargo ATMs on campus? or just the campus federal union one. (i don't rmbr the exact name of that one).</p>

<p>oh, and does anyone know if, for online purchase, wellsfargo/visa will give me a one-time use number to use for online merchants? i have a visa check card.</p>

<p>I believe the closest Wells Fargo ATM is the one on the drag. I'm not sure what you mean for the on-line purchases, but my son uses his Wells Fargo Visa check card for on-line purchases all the time.</p>

<p>Visa uses personal passwords for added protection for on-line purchases. </p>

<p>MasterCard and Discover issue virtual account numbers for on-line purchases.</p>
