TCF Bank is the Student Banking Partner* of the University of Illinois. TCF Bank offers free checking accounts and other campus banking services to University of Illinois students.

Currently, University of Illinois students at the Chicago and Urbana campuses may choose to link their TCF Totally Free Student checking account to their i-card for use as an ATM and PIN-based debit card. Students who link their TCF account to their i-card will enjoy the ease and convenience of debit payment via their student ID.

TCF Bank offers free financial education seminars to University groups on the Chicago and Urbana campuses. These seminars are arranged through i-card Programs and given by local TCF Bank branch managers. TCF Bank offers programs on the following topics:

• ID Theft
• To be held at UIUC on Wednesday, March 12, 2008, at 5 p.m. in room 322 of the Illini Union ***FREE PIZZA***

*Through the University’s exclusive partnership with TCF Bank to offer optional student checking accounts linked to the i-card, the University receives financial support in the form of annual student scholarships, program marketing support, revenue for each account opened, reimbursement for i-card supplies, furniture for ID Centers, branch rent and other compensation. Students are not required to open an account with TCF Bank and they do not need to have a TCF Bank account in order to use their i-card for other card-authorized services, such as meal plans, on-campus debit accounts, door access, library services, and fee-based services like recreation centers. The University partnership with TCF Bank was formed after a competitive selection process. Questions about the University’s partnership with TCF Bank may be directed to the i-card Programs Office at 217-265-6464 or by email to icardhelp@uillinois.edu.
