Student Accounts

• How do Student Accounts differ from standard current accounts?

If you are looking to find a student account that offers the best deals then you're in the right place. Student Bank accounts are an essential tool for any University goer, offering an account to not only house your student loan, income or payments, but also provide you with a 0% overdraft to help you out when you're short of funds.

Most student accounts offer account-holders a range of features that are specifically designed to help students, such as railcards, free gifts, or in the form of high 0% overdrafts.

Accounts generally run for the duration of your course, then your bank will offer you a graduate account that can also carry a number of benefits.
