Planning for College

College is a time for exciting new adventures. For many people, college represents the first step toward financial independence. From paying tuition to buying books to late night pizza runs, money plays a big part of the college experience. Fortunately, Pacific Service Credit Union has everything you need to make managing money easy and affordable.

 

Deciding how to pay for stuff

The first thing you’ll need to do is figure out how you want to pay for all the new expenses that you’ll encounter during your college years. With the FirstStep checking account and Visa check card,  you can easily pay the rent, grab a bite to eat, or buy lab supplies. Our FirstStep checking account is designed for members 23 years old and under, and offers ATM fee reimbursement. So, whether you decide on NYU, UCLA or to study locally, you’ll never have to pay another ATM fee again.

 

No credit? No problem! If you’re a student or you have a job, you’re eligible for our Visa Classic Starter Card. You can start building your credit history with timely payments. It’s perfect for your online or offline spending needs, and it features a lower rate than most credit card offers you’ll find on campus.

 

Banking without all the stress

With exams, homework and studying to get done, the last thing you need is a sleepless night worrying about how much money you have in your account. Use BranchLine online banking or call ExpressLine telephone banking for 24/7 account information, and you’ll always know where you stand financially. We even offer eStatements so you can receive your statement no matter how many times you move.

 

Planning for the unexpected

Need a way to have your parents transfer money into your account in a pinch? No problem. We accept online transfers from other financial institutions. It’s quick, easy and free using BranchLine online banking.

 

Going away to college?

Don’t forget to submit a change of address. Simply log onto BranchLine online banking to send a secure email, or download a Change of Address form and mail it to the Credit Union.
