Financial Aid and Other University Refunds
KU requires students to sign up for direct deposit so financial aid and other university refunds can be electronically deposited into your bank account. Choose KU Checking for your direct deposit, and you’ll enjoy the flexibility and convenience of banking on campus, banking online and banking with your KU Card. We have KU covered with our Kansas Union branch and 7 on-campus ATMs.
