OPEN YOURS TODAY

At Old Second, we make it easy for college students to have their own checking account. And we make it rewarding.

You see, we’ll give you a free $25 Cash Bonus Card.* You can use the card just about anywhere to buy whatever you want. Dinner at a restaurant, new clothes, whatever.

What’s more, you’ll also get a free debit card that you can use to buy things just about anywhere. And you can use your debit card at any of our nearly 80 ATM machines, without any charge.

And because this is a free checking account, any checks you write are free, and there is no monthly minimum balance requirement.

Best of all, you can bank with your web-enabled phone anywhere you want, any time, set up free text** or email alerts and more. Absolutely free. iPhone owners can download a free app, too.

You don’t need a lot of money to open your account, either. Just $50. Open yours right now, right here, online. Just hit the “Apply Now” button, answer a few questions and you’re done.

No other checking account suits college kids better than Old Second College Checking. It’s the easiest way to learn to manage your money. And it’s free. And it’s one of the smartest things a college student can do.



Be sure to visit our ATMs on college campuses (Aurora University, Waubonsee Community College, and Prairie State College).  And students travelling from outside the state or area can take advantage of third party surcharge free withdrawals at thousands of MoneyPass^® Network ATMs.



*$25 bonus is open only to new personal checking account relationships with Old Second that are opened with money not currently on deposit at any Old Second Bank, and you must enroll for a Free Debit Card and Free O2 online banking at new checking account opening. **The customer remains responsible for any text fees that may be incurred from the wireless carrier.
