I've got some time on my hands and have been meaning to get a bank account and credit card and would like a bit of advice. I'm a college student and have about 2000 in cash in my bedroom. It works for me, but my brother has been telling me how important it is to start establishing good credit, so I decided to take up his recommendation. Would I be fine getting just a checking account? What should I look for in a bank? What banks do you guys use?
Thanks a lot!
