Wachovia Bank and UNC-Chapel Hill Team Up To Simplify Student Life

Students attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill this fall will enjoy the ease of carrying one card to perform all their on- and off-campus transactions.

Wachovia Bank, N.A. is partnering with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to offer the UNC One Card Plus, a campus identification card that can be connected to a UNC-Chapel Hill expense account, a Wachovia College Access Checking Account and a Wachovia Check Card.

The UNC One Card Plus works like the current UNC One Card by allowing students to draw funds from their campus expense account to purchase meals at dining halls, use laundry facilities, pay for photocopies and printing or make purchases at student stores. In addition, the UNC One Card Plus, serves as the student’s Wachovia Check Card by accessing funds from their Wachovia account when making purchases off campus.

"The Visa Check option for the UNC One Card Plus provides members of the University community with a wider variety of banking options. The initial response on campus has been very positive." (Mike Freeman, Director of Contracts and Card Applications)

With the Wachovia College Access Checking Account, students can utilize a package of banking services designed specifically to meet their financial needs. The College Access Checking Account offers low or no monthly maintenance fee checking with no minimum balance required, free Wachovia and First Union ATM use at over 4,600 ATMs from Connecticut to Florida, free Wachovia Check Card purchases everywhere Visa is accepted and free online and telephone access to account information and fund transfers.
