Student Account

How to be a student and live

• Up to £1,000 overdraft in the first year and up to £3,000 in the remaining years of your course
• 24 Hour Telephone and Internet Banking**

If you’re going to or are at university, you’ll be faced with a whole host of problems that have nothing to do with your course work. There will be books to buy, fees to pay, travel costs and living expenses – and if you’re moving away from home, your expenses may be much higher than you expected.

Our Student Account gives you the benefits of a normal current account. That means you can apply for an overdraft facility, Dual-Function Maestro Debit Card and even a Gold MasterCard Credit Card^#.
