Multiple overdraft accounts instead of loan (postgraduate) - anyone done this?

Hello,

Instead of a career development loan of 10k which you start paying back at 10% annualised interest rate straight after graduation I was thinking of perhaps obtaining multiple postgraduate account with max overdraft limits (2k). My credit ratings are very good.

If anyone has done this I would like to hear about it. What risks do you see ?

Thank you.

    Why do you think a second bank will give you a postgraduate account with overdraft once they discover you already have one with another bank? I'm no expert on these accounts but I think your idea is a complete non-starter.
