Banking

Your host university will assist you in opening your bank account. You may learn how to manage your money and how to use US banks here: http://www.unl.edu/iaffairs/orientation_new/chapter4.pdf (UNL International Affairs Exchange Visitor Handbook) or https://ssl14.pair.com/jfdp/activefellows/Guidebook.pdf (JFDP Cultural Orientation Guidebook (Chapter 6))

At UNL, if you want to know everything about the bank on campus where you are very likely to open your account, please go to www.wellsfargo.com

Just a reminder: your debit card with VISA logo will allow you to do online shopping; you will not need a credit card.

Your host university will also assist you in obtaining your social security number.
