Student Bank Accounts for Returning Students

When I graduated I moved from a student account to a graduate account but now that I'm going to be a student again I want to go back to the student account to avoid paying interest on my overdraft.
Does anyone know if you can do this when you've already had a student bank account in the past?

Just join a different bank and don't tell them you have previously had a student account. I don't mean lie, just don't mention it. Or open an Alliance & Leicester Premier current account, which will match your present overdraft interest free for one year.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0

You can go back to a Student Account, it takes some persuading but I did it. I had a student account up till about 10 years ago, then a graduate account for 3 years and recently have gone back to a student account. I just had to prove I was a student again, this has all been on the same bank account I have had since I was 16.0
