  • Try LLoydsTsb, our finances are not the best, my son has no credit rating what so ever, his wages are paid from his part time job into his account with Halifax who he has been with for 4 years-they declined him straight away. He applied in person to LLoydstsb who took all his details opened his account there and then and also gave him this http://www.lloydstsb.com/current_accounts/student_account.asp
    All the documentation arrived within 5 days.
    Excellent service from them.
  • Thanks jbatista, did tsb give your son an overdraft facility ?

    Might give them a go as another search won't make any difference I suppose :confused:

    Yes he was given exactly as is advertised-£500 in the first 6 months, £1000 in months 7 to 9 and so on.
    Good luck.
