Student Bank Account for one year Masters Course?

OMAR

Hi,


Do any banks offer this? Or maybe a postgraduate account??

A quick google found this as an example, I imagine other banks have similar products.

But it might only be available if you have recently graduated, and we don't know whether you have.

Then you need to check whether it is available to someone in your circumstances or not, it may say so online or you might have to ring them up.

You will be eligible for a student account with some banks. You will have to check the T&Cs at each bank.

Co-op for instance allows post-graduate students to open their student account and offer a £1,400 0% overdraft in the first year:

From T&Cs: "in full-time education, as an under or post graduate student, including mature students and existing students".

I was eligible for a student bank account for a full time MA, two years after I graduated. Just needed proof from the university.

HSBC has a good overdraft limit, can come in handy if needs be.
