Student bank accounts?

Hi,
I'm currently 18 and a BTEC student in my last year before progressing onto uni. Are there any student accounts that will allow me to sign up? As I know that I can build my credit score with some of the student accounts and 0% overdraft. I can meet the monthly pay in criteria as I have a part time job.
What do you guys recommend as the best account or the best way to do things?
Thank You in advance for any help.

Probably not until you have an acceptance letter from the uni of your choice, this is what the banks want to open a student account, the letter needs to show your course, university and the proposed end date of your degree or HND.
Wait till you have finished your BTEC and try then.
Good Luck

Your UCAS email is the answer.
You need to print it off and take to a bank of your choice.0
