On Campus Banks?
I was wondering what banks have locations or have ATMs on campus? I'm with TD right now and don't want to have to pay a service fee to take out money from an ATM because of how quickly the service fees add up to being alot of money (taking out money 10 times would be like ripping up 10 dollars)

Titles offers $20 and $40 cash back, which I've used a lot in my time at Mac. the closest branch for my bank is Jackson Square. ugh.

but if you're dying for a coffee, bagel, choc milk, etc head down to Union Market and pay with your debit card!

I only came across CIBC, aand I know what you mean, the closest ScotiaBank is probably a bus ride from Mac:(, and the service fee of $1.25 I believe doesn't help too much either:(

There's one in westdale : ) It's a 10-15 minute walk, depending on how fast you walk.

Does anyone know the closest CIBC off-campus? I know about the one in Westdale, but it takes me about 40 minutes to walk there since I live closer to Dundas.

I suggest you all open a no-fee checking account with president's choice. They're affiliated with cibc so all cibc atms are free (you can use the cibc machine in student centre) for pc card holders and also you get the bonus of getting free cheques.
