Choose a bank in your area where you might like to open an account. One important factor toconsider is how many ATM locations this bank has in the area where you live. If you can’t use thisbank’s ATMs, you will almost certainly have to pay a fee for each ATM transaction. Sometimes youmight have to pay two fees—one to the bank whose ATM you are using, and another one to your ownbank.
Record below the locations of your chosen bank’s ATMs in places around where you live and work.Then, mark those locations on a map of your local area. (You can find a map like this at your locallibrary or on the Internet.) Attach your completed map to the lower part of this activity sheet.
