Student/graduate bank account

Jennn123

I have just graduated and am just about to start a Legal Practice Course. I have never had a student bank account but Im now looking for an interest free overdraft. Would it be best to get a student bank account, would i be able to get one as im not an undergraduate student? Or would it be best to get a graduate account, also would i be able to get one without a regular wage and no job. One last question, I have a nationwide flexaccount (current account) which i would like to keep, are you allowed to have another current account when opening a student/graduate account?
Thanks for your help!

You wont be able to apply for a student bank account now, as you have npw graduated, but you are eligible for a graduate bank account, different providers will offer different overdraft limits which are 0% for a limited period usually for up to three yrs in my experience.

They do ask for regualr payments to be credited into the account especially if you use the overdraft facility.

You can keep your existing flexi account at Nationwide if you open another bank account.
