Switch to Cashless Payments
The HUB has permanently suspended all cash payments for tuition, fees and service-related charges, creating an environment of increased security and accuracy. Students may utilize a number of safe, easy-to-use payment options, including Flywire and CIBC for international students and online banking for students with a U.S. checking or savings account.
Students who come to The HUB with cash may wish to open a U.S. bank account in order to make payments. A bank account allows students to securely deposit cash and receive credit and/or debit cards, personal checks and cashier's checks, both of which are accepted forms of payment at The HUB. While students may use any bank they wish, 好色先生TV partners with PNC Bank and a number of locations can be found nearby.
Opening a Bank Account: What You'll Need
U.S. Mailing Address
You may use an on- or off-campus address to open a bank account. If you live in a dormitory, please provide the building name, room number, street address and zip code. Please note that a bank will not accept an SMC box as an address.
U.S. Phone Number
You will need to provide a U.S. phone number. You may use a cell phone number or, if you live on campus, you may provide a dormitory phone number.
Two Forms of Identification
Acceptable forms of identification include your CMU ID card, driver's license, passport or visa. If you do not have two of these forms of identification, contact your bank of choice to determine which additional forms of identification they accept.
Personal Country Identification Number
Known as a Social Security Number (SSN) in the United States, personal country identification numbers have various names in each country and help the government identify individuals. Students who do not have an SSN and whose countries do not provide personal country identification numbers may still open a U.S. bank account.
