Open a Free Student Checking Account with First Bank
If you are thinking about opening a checking account while in college, you may be wondering what a no fee student checking account is, and where you can get one. Unexpected expenses can put stress on you financially and mentally, and the last thing you should have to worry about in college is paying extra fees to have a checking account.
It probably doesn’t come as a surprise that the costs of college have risen substantially in the past few years. But you may be surprised to find out just how many more unexpected costs there are once you get there. Most colleges provide you with a list of expenses based on their tuition fees, cost of room and board, and loose estimates on other essentials such as transportation and textbooks. Often these estimates are way off, and you get stuck coming up with extra money for things you didn’t realize you would need.
