Cambridgeport Bank, a small bank with branches in Cambridge and a few other cities in the area, offers free checking.

Larger banks – such as Bank of America, Citizens Bank, Harvard Credit Union or Cambridge Trust Company – offer several checking options for students. A detailed listing of the many area banks is available in The Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard including detailed information about various accounts.
