Recommended bank for Canadian in Rochester?

Posted by casdunning @casdunning, Jan 2, 2021

Hi I am moving to Rochester next week from Canada where I'll be starting a postdoc at Mayo! I will need a US bank account and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations, in particular for my situation coming from Canada without a SSN (which I'm still not quite sure how to get yet 😅). I've heard RBC is decent for Canadians but doesn't look like there are many locations in Rochester. Thanks in advance!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the New Employee Connections group.

I'll send you a private message to help you out.

Hey am from Canada as well. You certainly need an SSN to open a bank account, they might also require proof or residency. US TD was the easiest bank for me as I am banking with them in Canada.

Also, I would suggest you call now for an appointment of your SSN, as they may require an appointment and it may take awhile. All the best

There is the Mayo Clinic Employees Federal Credit Union, https://mayocreditunion.org/, You might be able to call them for assistance in understanding what to do.
