Can you help with an MSE News team investigation?

We’d like to hear from students who’ve applied for a student bank account and been rejected. If that’s you, it would be great to know:

  • Which bank it was.
  • When it happened.
  • The reason you were given for the rejection.

Thanks,

MSE Laura F

    My son has, it was HSBC, a couple of weeks ago and the reason was his credit score wasn't good enough.

  • Yes, my son. Was rejected by Santander after months of back and forth with id checks.
    rejected eventually due to credit history. Nothing of credit file, lived at same address for his whole life!
