The Environment
►
Banks market to prospective students who have a history of good credit or have parents willing to co-sign for them
►
Financial services companies market to students and parents to establish long-term relationships
►
When evaluating the numerous services available, students should consider:
–
Where can deposits and other banking transactions be made easily?
– Will parents make deposits on their behalf?
– Are online banking and branch locations available for both students and parents?

Parental Involvement
Banks need to tailor their message to both parents and students
►
When parents are involved with their child’s financial literacy education it is a Win/Win for both the family and your institution
►
Parent involvement in student finances can positively influence your relationship with the student
►
Savvy parents look for a financial institution offering a full suite of products; working with one company can save time and avoid the aggravation of dealing with multiple banks

Focus on a Student’s Future
►
Students who are careful in college by not overdrawing their student bank account, exceeding their credit limit nor forgetting to pay a few bills will see their efforts rewarded in a positive credit history
►
Maintaining good credit is one of the most fundamental ways to ensure a person has access to borrow funds for a car or a home and potentially at a lower interest rate for even greater savings
►
Potential next steps: paying for graduate school and/or beginning to save for a child's higher education
