I am sorry to say you stand no chance of getting a student account with an overdraft.

As the number of previous credit checks done over a set period is generally one of the criteria considered multiple credit applications can be looked upon negatively as it suggests desperation and/or declines elsewhere.
...which is why you should always space out your credit applications if you can.

Is your credit card a student credit card?
If so, have you asked the bank that you hold your student credit card with?
Remember, that an overdraft is an 'add-on', and you can still get a current account without being able to get an overdraft (but you can also be declined for both).Thank you all for helping me make my day by saving money!0 -
He has already stated he banks with Nationwide who do not offer student accounts.0
