Santander/A&L/Abbey?

paultysoe

I'm looking to switch accounts to get student account, but I'm with Alliance and Leicester, who don't offer one, but their parent bank, Santander, through Abbey does offer a student account, so was wondering if anyone knows if the process of switching accounts is made easier due to being within the same organisation as opposed to switching to another bank entirely.

Thanks for any feedback.

In relation to your other thread natwests terms and conditions state you are only allowed to have one student account.

So are you looking to transfer your newly opened natwest student account to another bank??

No, I made this thread before the other one in the hope that it would be easier to just have my account internally switched within the Santander group to Abbey allowing them to sort out the transfer, essentially having the same account but with a student interest free overdraft, rather than me switching banks entirely and having to open one, transfer and then close the old one. I have since found out that that option is not possible, and have decided to switch to Natwest anyway.
