CampusEdge Checking
from Bank of America

This basic checking account is designed for students. The account provides free checking for five years, free online banking, and a free Visa check card. No minimum balance is required and the account provides a one-time refund for an "unexpected" service fee. With this account, it's OK to be young and dumb…once. You have to be at least 18 to sign up.

I have had this account for 6 years now and it has been very user friendly. It offers online banking which is easy to access and unlimited ATM withdrawals and VISA Debit Card transactions. I would recommend it!

I loved this checking account. It was super easy to get started really easy to make deposits and view my account history online. Also because I linked this checking account to my bank of america savings they gave me free overdraft protection and enrolled me in their keep the change program which helped me save $30 dollars so far!!

I have had an overall great experience with this type of checking account. This is the first type of checking that I have had. It's great that they give you a free "service charge elimination" for the first one. All i needed to open it up was 25 dollars.

I love the CampusEdge Checking Account from BOFA. They are very forgiving and allow you to waive an overdraft free once a year. They understand that you're a student so they don't rack up those overdraft fees like regular accounts.

Overall a good checking account for a college student. If the person is under 18 when the sign uo they can do so as long as a parent also has access to the account.
