Hello

Has anyone had any experiences about opening a student Account after discharge?

I am starting Uni next year and would like to open an account to pay my student loans into?

Thanks

    Do you specifically need a student account with the extras that provides? Could you not manage with a basic account just as well?

    Have a really good look at the extras you get with a student account and decide whether it's actually worth having.

    As most of these come with some sort of overdraft, you will be very very lucky to get one.

    Darn, I always miss that crucial point about student accounts - thanks Dojo.

    I only know INAN, as my son has just started Uni. and my youngest daughter has just finished, otherwise I would not have a clue:)
