You will have several options for banking while in Cincinnati. 5/3 Bank (“Fifth Third”) and PNC Bank are popular choices for international students. These banks have a lot of experience with internationals.
We recommend PNC because they have a full-service bank located on our UC campus (in the Tangeman University Center, Level 3), close to the law school. They can also add money to your Bearcat ID Card for you, which you can then use to buy things on campus. Learn more about using your Bearcat Card: Bearcat ID
