U.S. Bank to add ATMs, other banking services at San Diego State

November 26, 2002

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- U.S. Bank will add banking services to San Diego State University's SDSU Card, which provides official identification and a variety of conveniences -- including access to photocopy machines, laundry facilities, health services, the pharmacy and computer labs -- for more than 40,000 students, faculty and staff.

For cardholders who are also U.S. Bank customers, the SDSU Card will double as their ATM card on and off campus.

As part of an agreement with the university, U.S. Bank will also sponsor the inaugural SDSU Month and deploy three U.S. Bank ATMs on campus in the spring of 2003. In addition to traditional cash deposit and withdrawal functions, the ATMs will dispense phone minutes and stamps.

SDSU will also participate in U.S. Bank Workplace Banking, which extends special banking services and products to the approximately 7,000 SDSU employees.

"This partnership is tremendously important to U.S. Bank and is symbolic of our commitment to San Diego," said Robert Armstrong, market president of U.S. Bank in San Diego, in a news release. "We are grateful to the university for this opportunity to deepen our relationship with them."

SDSU is one of 12 colleges and universities that partner with U.S. Bank for a campus card program. Others include Iowa State University, Northwest Missouri State University, Xavier University and the University of Louisville.

U.S. Bank has 41 ATMs in San Diego, among 4,680 ATMs nationwide.

Pittsburgh-based PNC Bank has a similar campus banking program. (See related stories Banking rocks, dude; PNC adds more university ATMs and PNC deal with Penn State includes ATMs)
