Probably none unless the student has already had a good track record managing money. Assuming that the task was not undertaken earlier, consider the following: ... ... I would suggest that the student begin with a checking account and only use checks at first. The account may have to be in a bank near the school for local merchants to accept the checks. ... ... After a year of managing a checking account, get the debit card. The student gets cut off automatically if the card is abused. ... ... By the third year, get a card with a low limit. The student's goal should be to manage the card very well and establish a good credit record. ... ... A college senior should be mature and a student who has practiced good financial management will do well with any zero annual fee card. Interest and such are not important since the discipline is to pay off the balances monthly. ... ... I went to college before debit cards and before the general credit cards. American Express and Diners' Club were about the only ones available. Because I learned how to live within what I had, I have never used a credit card as a means of paying on time.
- none...LOL
- I gave all three kids Visa debit cards and kept tons of money in them.
