Sarah Schwarm: "They (like most credit unions) don't charge a fee for checking accounts and have better than average interest on savings. The biggest drawback is that they don't have a network of ATMs. [editor's note: As of Sep 2002, there is a WSECU ATM at the HUB near the etc. convenience store.] ...but they don't charge a fee for using another bank's ATM, so you can use any Washington Mutual ATM (they also don't charge for anyone to use theirs) for free. There are others, too - I think they gave me a list when I joined. Students are eligible to join WSECU, plus most grad students are TAs or RAs, so technically we're state employees, too." (Sep 2001)

• Wells Fargo Bank (ATM/branch locator) - branch on Ave. at 45th, ATMs there and lower on the Ave. at 41st
