- Look for student accounts with low/no required balances, unlimited check writing and low/no cost access to nearby Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs).
- Ask about fees for bounced checks (writing a check without sufficient funds to cover the amount).
- Do not allow the bank to print your Social Security number, driver's license, or other personally identifiable information on your checks.
- Understand the terms and conditions of your bank account(s) and ask questions if you don't understand fees and charges.
- After your account is set up, consider using a program such as Quicken, Microsoft Money or Mint.com to keep track of your spending.
