UI Student
Congratulations on becoming a Hawkeye!
As you arrive at the beautiful University of Iowa campus, we’d love to welcome you to Hills Bank. With two convenient locations around downtown Iowa City, you’re never far from your money. And as the only bank on campus, we offer some exclusive perks for students like you.
Five reasons why you need a local bank:
1. It’s a safe place to store cash tips (because under your bed isn’t safe or secure)!
2. If your debit card is lost or stolen, you’ll be able to turn it off immediately to prevent fraud.
3. In the event of fraud, you can immediately talk with a real person – call us at 1-800-445-5725 or chat with us on hillsbank.com or within Hills Bank mobile.
4. You’ll have access to emergency cash, with more than 20 ATMs around campus.
5. Your parents won’t have any trouble getting money to you, with same-day payment delivery through Xpress Transfer.
