Helping international students navigate U.S. banking system

Thursday, July 17, 2008

Banking Corner Sponsored by U.S. Bank
Students from abroad, attending college in the U.S., have a lot to assimilate. More than likely they have to deal with a new culture, perhaps master a new language, learn their way around campus and more. They also possibly have to learn a new currency and probably how to deal with this country’s banking system.

That’s where a school’s banking partner can help. In the case of U.S. Bank, it has even set up special seminars for international students during orientation.

“They need a unique orientation separate from other incoming freshmen,” explains Whitney Bright, vice president, campus banking for U.S. Bank. “A lot of times international students are notorious for bringing large quantities of cash.
