Banks not quite right near campus:

  • HomeStreet Bank - There's a branch at 35th and 82nd NE. I ended up closing my account because I wanted to transfer in and out electronically for free, and they told me I could and then it turned out there was a fee. So I'm not impressed. But if that doesn't matter to you, you could feel good about supporting a local bank that claims to do lots of community service. -- eherbst
