Don’t close that checking account back home!
- Most colleges will cash a personal check on campus. Daily limits may apply.
- Most businesses will accept your check, as long as your college mailing address and phone number are written on the check. This can be printed by the check company, or hand written by you (if you don’t want to order new checks).
- Having a checking account comes in handy when you need some money from home. Instead of having to wait for that magical check in the mail, mom or dad can deposit the funds into your checking account at home.
