Choosing a Student Bank Account
Choosing a Student Bank Account
Most high-street banks offer dedicated student accounts with perks like interest-free overdrafts. Picking the right one now can save you hundreds over your degree.
Compare the overdraft
The interest-free overdraft limit is the biggest differentiator. Some banks offer up to £3,000 by your final year. Check whether the limit increases each year and what happens after you graduate.
Look beyond the freebies
A free railcard or cashback sounds great, but the overdraft terms matter more long-term. Check the app experience too — you will be using it every day.
