What are the eligibility requirements to open a Student Checking Account?
All you'll need is your name, contact information, and social security number. If you already have an account with us, we'll ask for your online username and password, so we can securely identify you and pre-fill most of the application for you.

You must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident with a valid Social Security number and be at least 16 years old. In compliance with the Patriot Act, we will we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. If we cannot verify certain information, we may not open your account and will ask you to contact our call center in order to proceed.

As part of the account opening and enrollment process, we may review your banking history using reports from consumer reporting agencies. Opening a Sallie Mae No Fee Student Checking account will not be reported to any credit bureau that provides credit reports or credit scores, and will not impact your credit history or credit scores with those agencies.

Based on this review, we may open an account for you, but you may not be eligible for some account features such as Bill Pay and we may limit your ability to make certain types of transfers to and from your account.

Please call us at 877-346-2756 if you need assistance with opening your account. Customer Care specialists are available Monday-Friday, 8 AM-8 PM Eastern Time.
