Banking

There are several local banks where you may establish checking and savings accounts. Each bank has different regulations regarding the clearing time for funds to become available if you deposit checks. If you plan to open an account with a check, it may take up to two weeks before the funds are available. Plan ahead and bring enough cash or travelers checks with you to get you through the first few weeks of school.

Below is a list of banks that are located in the local area. Call or check their websites for specifics regarding their clearing process, hours, automatic teller machines, fees, etc.
