Check Cashing
The University's Ticket Office, located on the first floor of the Reilly Center, provides a check-cashing service for local and out-of-town checks. Checks for $50 or less may be presented with a current I.D. card on Monday-Friday from 12:30-4 p.m. There is a 25-cent charge per check. Any check returned for any reason will be assessed a $35 service charge.
The local banks in the Olean/Allegany area offer a variety of options for students to maintain checking and savings accounts. A local checking account is suggested in order to expedite purchases locally. Merchants do not normally accept out-of-town checks. A list of banks that participate is available at the Business Office.
An Automatic Teller Machine is located within the Reilly Center, adjacent to the University Bookstore, with Five Star Bank as the servicing bank. VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express are also accepted.
