<p>I want to open up a student checking account, and also receive a credit/debit card that I can use around campus. I was leaning towards Bank of America's student account, but I recently heard about UFCU. </p>
<p>Is anyone familiar with UFCU and what benefits it offers? Should I go and create an account, or should I look elsewhere? </p>
<p>At this point, I want recommendations so I can make a clear and smart decision before school starts. </p>
<p>Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>Check out their website, <a href=“http://www.ufcu.org%5B/url%5D”>www.ufcu.org</a> , they are fantastic!</p>
<p>Yeah, UFCU seems like a great place to open my first checking account, especially since I’m a student. It sounds too good to be true as I’m comparing it with some banks haha. </p>
<p>The free checking account seems easy to set up, and is FREE. And I’ve only heard positive reviews thus far.</p>
<p>UFCU is awesome! I’ve had an account with them for a few years now and they have always been amazing. Great customer service. There are also tons of UFCU ATMs on UT campus; more than any other bank, I think. Highly recommend getting an account with them.</p>
