Hello everyone! I am wondering what everyone has done for banking when down in florida? Do you use the account disney gives you or open up a new one? If you opened your own account down there what company did you use? Thank you for your help! Samantha
Re: Banking You can use Disney's Partners FCU checking which is free with direct deposit, or get a checking account at Suntrust, which requires min $500 monthly balance or direct deposit your disney salary. I have had both, and as a CP I'd simply go with Partners.
You could also look into different banks and see if any of them have partnerships with a bank in your home country. For example, Bank of America has a partnership of some kind with Deutsche Bank witch made it possible for me to withdraw money for free once I got back to Germany. The account was free with a minimum deposit I think, and after I left I could switch it to a different kind of account where I couldn't use their counters (that are all in the US anyways ). But that was free with no other conditions. So I guess it all depends on where you're from and what you want to be able to do with your account
