In her first weeks of graduate school, Akanksha Sharma had a problem: an ever-growing shopping list. Textbooks for classes, essentials for her new apartment, lab and activity fees, notebooks, folders, pens, graph paper, and so on: If there was any money left, she’d even consider buying something to eat. A paycheck was on the way for Ms. Sharma’s work as a research assistant at the University of Arizona. She just needed a place to deposit it. Fortunately, Wells Fargo Bank had a branch on campus, and various university materials described the company as its “official banking vendor.” It was an easy choice.
