iCan (formerly "Global") Account Spectrum has put together a useful package, specifically addressing the needs of college age young adults, which includes the 'iCan' checking account (accessible via the internet worldwide) with a low minimum deposit, as well as a hefty discount on specific loans. This full 1% loan discount is great for financing technology purchases, vehicle loans or pretty much anything the account holder may qualify for. If you currently have a checking account at another financial institution, you may switch your checking account to Spectrum by following the instructions on this secure Checking Account 'Switch Kit'.
