Open University - Where can I get a Student Account?

I've been studying with the OU for a few years towards a BA (Hons) degree, but I also work full time.

For the first year I've got full financial assitance, a Student Loan grant and a NUS student card which I paid for.

I bank with Lloyds TSB at the moment, and because I'm not a 'full-time' student they have refused me a student accout (but I study 16 hours of study per week).

Anyone know who will give me a student account. I've used my NUS card to get various discounts and not had a problem.

Thanks for your help.

    I believe you need to be a full time student at a bricks and mortar uni to get a student account.
