Eight universities have chosen U.S. Bank to offer enhanced banking services to their students, faculty and staff through each school’s campus identification (ID) card. The schools are California State University-San Bernardino, Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Colorado State University-Pueblo, Missouri Baptist University in St. Louis, San Jose State University, Seattle University, Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall and the University of California-Davis.

Each school has an official campus identification card that offers a wide variety of services to its students, faculty and staff. In addition to the campus functions, each identification card will have new banking functionality powered by U.S. Bank.

For cardholders who choose to open an account at U.S. Bank, these new identification cards will double as their ATM card on and off campus, and can be used as a debit card at merchants in the United States that accept Interlink PIN debit. All students, faculty and staff can choose from a variety of U.S. Bank financial products and services including checking accounts with no minimum balance and no monthly maintenance fee.

"We are excited to expand our industry-leading campus banking program to add these eight terrific new partners," said Whitney Bright, general manager for U.S. Bank Campus Banking. "Our local branch teams look forward to serving the students, faculty and staff who are interested in the convenient services that are available from U.S. Bank."

Central Washington University and San Jose State University will also add signature debit capabilities via U.S. Bank’s Maxx Card program. The Maxx Card is an instantly-issued all-in-one Visa debit card and student ID, and is accepted at all Visa merchants worldwide.

In addition to these eight schools, U.S. Bank partners with more than 50 colleges and universities to provide a campus banking program.
