Student bank accounts

I appreciate that I am in a privileged minority, not needing to get into debt while at Uni, but I am looking for a good student bank account that pays interest on a small balance. All the decent interest-paying current accounts seem to require applicants to be over 21. Unless you can advise me otherwise... I look forward to your suggestions.

    Interest on current accounts is not really important - if you have a sum of money you want to gain interest on, stick it into an instant access savings account and transfer anything extra from your current account into that also.

    It's not a student account but IF offer a current account with an interest rate of 3% gross
