I currently have two student checking accounts at two seperate banks. It is kinda irritating to hve to go to one and take out money and then go put it in to another account. I plan to close one out ASAP. Do you have more than one?

No. I can't see the reason for having two except if maybe one is a joint checking account.

LOL that always happend to me. If you're a student look into student checking accounts. They're free, and they usually have NO monthly balance requirements. Right now I have $100 in one and $0.00 in the other.

My wife and I have a joint account and my wife has her own for her home business. Both are at the same bank. Yet, she can't transfer money from one and put it into the other on the web or by phone. Something about the accounts aren't linked up or something. She has to withdraw from one and then deposit into the other, and she can't do that without going to the bank. Seems pretty dumb to me.
