Is she working, a student, both? Does she have significant savings or will this be mostly a spend account?

Yes and yes to your first questions. I'm not sure what qualifies as "significant" but she does currently have both a "checking" and "savings" account, they are just tied to my account w/USAA.

What I would do with what I know of your situation is do the local credit union where she will be living for checking and a credit card, then do a savings account online with Ally, Wealthfront, etc that pays higher interest so she has the habit of using that account as she gets older.
