Banking

You will find it useful to open accounts, both savings and checking, as soon as you locate a place to live. Since the service charges for checking accounts vary considerably, you may want to call a number of places. Some of the banks nearest the University are as follows:

Out-of-town checks are difficult to cash, so it would be wise to have a large amount of money in Travelers checks on hand when you arrive in St.Louis. Bring enough to cover all your needs for the first two weeks.

After you have opened an account at a local bank, it would be useful to register at your neighborhood supermarket for their check-cashing services.
