Axos Bank’s Essential Checking Named “Best Checking Account for College Students”

In its first-ever rankings of America’s Best Banks,Newsweektouts Essential Checking’s low to no fees and unlimited ATM charge reimbursements

In its first-ever ranking of America’s Best Banks, Newsweek named digital banking leader Axos Bank’s Essential Checking account the “Best Checking Account for College Students” – citing the account’s low to no fees and unlimited domestic ATM charge reimbursements.

“College students need features that suit their age and lifestyle: no or low ATM charges because they may use out-of-network machines; low fees if they trip up and overdraw the account; low minimums to open an account and to avoid monthly charges,” the magazine said in its Essential Checking write-up. “A decent rate and good mobile app also help.”

In addition to having no monthly maintenance fees, Essential Checking offers no overdraft or non-sufficient funds fees. And customers can also access their paychecks up to two days early with Direct Deposit Express – a standard feature that’s built into Essential Checking accounts.
