Chase
4.5
(17)
"Chase for 1% cashback, easy."
"Chase, Starling, Monzo in that order for me."
"For debit cards, I use Chase."
"Another vote for Chase."
"Chase is good."
"Better in terms of sending money in and out of the country"
"Chase branch is a lil off campus compared to UWCU branch tho"
"I prefer Chase because there is a fee if you transfer from an overseas account in both the banks. The fee for Chase is $15 and I believe for UWCU is either $30 or $50. And since you may move states after graduation, Chase is available in many locations throughout the country."
"I open both chase and UW credit union. Chase for most of my money and UW credit union when I want to retrieve some cash through the ATM on campus."
