KIRKSVILLE, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2006--Truman State
University has chosen U.S. Bank to be its campus bank card partner.
U.S. Bank will provide the technology for the banking functionality of
the school's multi-use identification card, called the Truman ID Card.
This new partnership includes a variety of optional U.S. Bank
financial products and services including checking accounts with no
minimum balance and no monthly maintenance fee for students, faculty
and staff.
In addition to the new banking functionality, the Truman ID Card
already provides official campus identification for more than 6,000
students, faculty and staff. The card can be used to purchase meals on
campus, as a laundry debit card and as a library card. It also
provides access to the school's Recreation Center.
For cardholders who also choose to open an account at U.S. Bank,
the Truman ID Card will double as their ATM card on and off campus,
and can be used as a debit card at merchants in the United States that
accept Visa PIN debit. Two U.S. Bank branches are conveniently located
near the campus - one at 202 E. McPherson and the other at 2202 N.
Baltimore Ave.
"The U.S. Bank team is excited about the new U.S. Bank and Truman
State University partnership," said Ava Kaden, district retail manager
for U.S. Bank in Northeast Missouri. "Our local branch teams have
enjoyed working with students, faculty and staff and look forward to
expanding our services and opportunities to help them meet their
financial needs."
