BANKING
When considering which bank to use in NYC, parents should think about bank chains that are located in their hometown first and then close to where their student will be be living while at NYU. As students will only live around Washington Square their first year, a branch that has multiple locations in the city will be the most convenient in the long run. Also, a bank in the student's hometown and in New York City allows even more convenience for parents to make deposits and assist with transactions.

That being said, most of the major bank chains in the city have a number of branches and ATM lobbies throughout the city. Almost all offer free checking to students with an NYU ID.

For branch and ATM locations, please click on the following bank links and enter either an address or zipcode. NYU buildings are located primarily within the 10012 and 10003 zipcodes:

Citibank
Bank of America
Chase
Wachovia
Washington Mutual
Commerce Bank (open sundays)
HSBC
