Student banking services differ
(Continuedfrompg.il)
The most charged for the 200 checks is at Cornhusker
Bank, where they cost $3.40 and $3.60.
According to all the banks, the price of the checks cover
just the cost of their printing.
Checkbox covers are free with the purchase of the
original checks.
The time taken to print and receive the checks varies
from a week to 10 days at the banks.
Temporary
At the time of purchase of the original checks, while the
personalized checks are being printed, temporary checks are
issued by all banks.
The number of temporary checks issued varies from
eight to 10.
Three banks require a minimum balance to open a
checking account.
First National requires a minimum balance of $50,
Walker said. Citibank requires a minimum balance of $75 to
open a checking account, Taylor said. According to
Horkey, Cornhusker Bank requires a $75 minimum.
The last two banks base the number of temporary
checks issued on the minimum balance.
Taylor said they will accept a smaller minimum opening
balance at Citibank, but "because of the bad check
situation for every $10 of the opening balance, we give
them only one temporary check. ,
$75 balance
Cornhusker Bank will not issue temporary checks until
the balance gets up to $75, according to Horky.
Some type of cash reserve system (i.e. checking plus) is
offered by five of the seven banks. The two which do not
offer it are Lincoln Bank South and Cornhusker Bank.
All the cash reserve systems of the five banks operate in
the same way.
.
According to Walker, First National, it is a line of credit.
You must apply for it. A credit check is performed, similar
to that done by Master Charge or Bank American!, Walker
said. ' ' ' " ' ' ' '
If it is approved, when your checking account becomes
overdrawn, the bank automatically puts money in your .
account in $100 increments to cover the check(s).
Interest is then charged on that money deposited at all
banks except NBC, at a rate of 18 per cent per year (which
is the maximum allowable by law, according to Taylor,
Citibank). NBC charges 12 per cent per year.
Taylor said he thought it would be harder for a student -to
get because of a lack of income to support a loan.
