U.S. Bank: Take Advantage of All the “Home Branch” Benefits

By: Kim Armstrong, GU Branch Manager

Every parent wants to know their student’s basic needs are met before leaving them on campus after orientation.

• Dorm room decked out
• Meal plan selected
• Local banking established

Wouldn’t it be a relief if you could take care of securing a local banking solution before you even left home? U.S. Bank has been a part of the Gonzaga community for over seven years, providing a wide array of banking services and ready to help with your student’s banking needs. Our team is always willing to do whatever it takes to help the GU community. Working on campus every day, we are very familiar with the banking needs of students and will do what we can to help. When the Gonzaga branch is the “home branch” our ability to assist with banking issues significantly increases. When a student has an issue that only their home branch can deal with, and that branch is not at GU, it limits our ability to go above and beyond. That is why we recommend opening an account with our branch prior to or upon arriving to campus so the student can take advantage of all the services we offer.

The ZAGCARD is the official Gonzaga University ID card, and so much more. Through U.S. Bank, the ZAGCARD can also act as the ATM/debit card. These additional benefits are included with the student checking account:
