Mobile Banking for College Students

If you’re the parent of a college student, you’re probably feeling anxious about a lot of things as the fall semester begins. One thing you shouldn’t have to worry about? Your child having access to funds if and when they are needed. Online banking can put your college student in touch with money 24/7/365 from any computer or handheld device that has internet access. Here are three great reasons to consider having your child download the MSB banking app:

Availability

Mobile banking has no hours of operation the way brick and mortar branches do. Customers can check their account, move money, pay bills, and more at their convenience, 24/7, wherever they are. Banking has never been easier!

Safety

Mobile banking is safe and secure. All reputable banks and financial institutions use encryption to safeguard and protect your privacy and identity information on mobile apps. As an added safety measure, make sure you are using your banking app on a secure network to avoid having sensitive information stolen, and never access it using public Wi-Fi.

Money Transfer

Does your kid owe their roommate money for ordering late night pizza? Our mobile banking app allows the user to pay people back, without needing to find an ATM to withdraw physical cash.

Parental Control

Mobile banking allows you, as the parent, the ability to keep track of your child’s usage of the app and available funds. You can see transactions made connected to a payment card, and even turn the cards off and on if the need arises.

Many of our services are available via phone, online, or the app. If you’re an existing or new client of McHenry Savings Bank, we have the online banking functionality you want. You can learn more about our mobile and online features by contacting us. We look forward to hearing from you!
