This includes no fees for unlimited debit transactions. There are a few things to be careful of. Students have to make sure they have access to their bank when they are away at school, otherwise they might end up racking up fees by having to pay ATM fees with other banks. Also, students need to be careful with what account they choose right after they are no longer students. Having free unlimited transactions is great, but it is hard to come by when you are not a student anymore.

I have used a few banks as a student. In the end, i stuck with chase bank for checking. Note, it is just for bill pay and to move money into other interest bearing accounts. Chase is a great hub, you can easily move money in and out, and track (download) all transactions. However, I make no interest on my checking, or free savings account with chase. it works purely as a hub. There are no fees associated with the account, and i believe the minimum balance to keep it fee free is $300? Not to sure. On top of that, they gave me $100 for signing up.
