One Summer Chicago Youth Banking Coalition Locator

What do I need to bring to the bank?

1. Opening deposit
2. Driver’s License/State ID
   Great Lakes Credit Union accepts City Key ID with an address. (In some cases, Marquette Bank and Northstar Credit Union may accept alternate identification such as a school ID with additional documentation.)
3. Social security card
   Some banks will accept ITIN. Ask about this if you are not eligible for a social security number.

Here are a few tips to make your banking experience a success!

1. Ask for a One Summer Chicago Youth Bank Account with these features:
• No monthly fees
• Low Minimum
• No overdraft
• FDIC Insured
• Online Access & Convenient Branches or ATMs
2. Say NO to overdraft! (Your debit card will decline if you don’t have funds instead of racking up extra charges.)
3. Ask what you need to do to avoid any fees! (Ask about online statements, transaction limits or requirements, minimum balance, age limits, etc.)
4. Savings accounts generally limit withdrawals to 6 or less per month. Ask for details and plan ahead.
5. Keep your account information, YOUR PIN & sensitive identification information PRIVATE and SECURE. DO NOT take checks from sources you do not trust. (Checks deposited via mobile phone, CANNOT be deposited again!)
6. Set up email or text alerts & track account activity online. Be careful when using cash transfer services or ACH payments as these can easily overdraw your account.

REMEMBER: If you have ANY questions, you can reach out to your banker. Get their contact information! To learn more about avoiding fraud & managing your account well, visit mychimyfuture.org/financeready.
