You may apply online or in person.  First choose the financial institution that is best for you.  Many banks and credit unions offer free student accounts.  The advantage of a student bank account is that it is specifically designed for the needs of students. The biggest benefit of student accounts is the interest-free overdraft that many of them come with. 

You will be required to show proof of identification to open an account.  Many banks will ask for Student ID number; social security number; driver’s license number; government issued ID etc.

Bank accounts require a minimum deposit in order to open the account, often ranging from $25 to $250.  Currently enrolled students may qualify to have the minimum deposit waived for a student bank account.

It will take from a few minutes up to a couple of days to receive your new account information.
