BB&T Student Checking Account

You can apply online, in person or by phone at 800-BANK-BBT (800-2265228). You can also follow the link available on this page to go to the BB&T website, and apply there directly.

To apply for a BB&T Student Banking checking account, you will need to provide the following information:

• Your Social Security Number,
• Your date of birth,
• Your address,
• A government-issued ID.
• Anticipated graduation date.
• Contact information (email and phone number).

Once you've turned 24 or if you graduated, whichever happens later, your BB&T Student Checking will be converted to BB&T Back to Basics.

You need to be 23 or younger to be eligible to apply for a BB&T Student Checking.

No, you must be a U.S. citizen or a legal resident alien with a valid Social Security Number to be able to open a BB&T Student Banking Checking.

You can avoid paper statement fees by turning off paper statements through Online Banking altogether, and choosing to receive online statements instead.

With BB&T, you can check your online statements whenever you want. With the options to save or print your eStatements, you'll be able to track your financial activity, and view up to 24 months of history. 

Not only are online statements eco-friendly, but they also help reduce the risk of identity theft and mail fraud, since you won't have any paper copies that might get lost or stolen.

Yes, at no additional cost, BB&T lets you personalize your debit card using a photo of your choice. It can be a photo from their gallery, your profile picture or a photo from your personal collection. If you choose to upload a photo from your device, the process of card production and delivery will take longer as the photo needs to go through review and approval, so you can wait for up to 8 days (which isn't that long, after all).

You can change your BB&T card design when you want, but each time you personalize your debit card, a new card number will be generated, and the newly personalized debit card will replace the old one. So, if you store your debit card number somewhere for easier payments or similar (Amazon or PayPal, for example), you might want to keep this in mind, so you update your card information across such platforms.

U by BB&T is a money management tool BB&T customers can use for daily banking.

It includes a customizable dashboard, from where you can access your profile, personal information, account alerts, previous transaction receipts, and credit card rewards. You can also schedule an appointment with a BB&T banker via the dashboard.

U by BB&T is a quick and convenient way to make transfers, pay bills, view activity history and online statements, set up account alerts, plan for savings, manage card activity, and more!

Finally, from your U by BB&T, you'll also be able to access BB&T Deals, a rewards program with many cashback offers and deals!

You can access BB&T Deals via your desktop or mobile phone by logging in to your account, and going to the BB&T Deals section. From there, you'll be able to see available offers, and add those you like to your cart. You can redeem a deal by making a purchase using your BB&T credit or debit card, and that's it! Rewards will be automatically deposited in your account. Remember: the more you shop, the more offers you receive - the more potential to earn!
