Financial Matters
We suggest you bring your money in traveler's checks, a bank check or money order drawn on U.S. dollars, or have the funds wired directly to the your university account. To wire money to your UWSP account kindly contact the FSO for instructions.
When you enter the United States, you will be asked if you have more than USD $10,000 with you. Be sure to answer carefully and honestly. The penalty for a false claim is very expensive.
You may need money for travel and hotel accommodations if you miss flight connections, so be prepared with a credit card and some cash.
Banking matters will be discussed in detail during orientation. You will have an opportunity to meet local bank representatives and open accounts at that time.
