Student bank account with the OU??

sheerpeaches

Hi everyone! I'm currently doing an OU course but would like a student bank account so i can benefit from the 0% overdrafts!! Does anyone know if this is possible on a part time course, as most appear to be for full time students only? Any help would be gratefully received.

You can try asking, but as you said they are mostly reserved for full-time students.

I don't think you can I'm sure it's based on the decision that most OU students are in full time or part time work so are not classed as full time students.

Perhaps someone can correct me if I am wrong.

It's not possible to be considered a full time student when studying with the OU.

If you in your first year of studies, then you can get an account with Abbey. I applied and was accepted in November last year.
