Opened my student account the other day... Went for Co Op cos they've got the best overdraft :smile:

the Co-op, £1400 overdraft...:woo: you cant beat that.
Its the only bank to offer GUARANTEED £1400 overdraft, the others either have a smaller overdraft, or say something vague like up to £3000 overdraft - which noone really gets in their first year.

that being said its a relatively hard bank account to get if you have no credit history.
Natwest is okay, but they no longer offer the railcard to new customers.


Sounds interesting, thanks for the info :smile:

What's the difference between a student account and a normal one for this age?

I haven't decided who to go with yet, but will definitely be using some of the advice on the web!

A current account has near no free overdraft (0%)
whereas student accounts have huge free overdrafts.

Banks target students because they think that because we have a student account ith them, once we graduate, we are more likely to stay with them :smile:

Sometimes I think 13 days, that's too quick! Then I think wait, that's pretty much 2 weeks, that's ages!

I want to know and I don't want to in a way!!
It's just the creative project. I aim to go to the bug testing phase before uni (grades permitting).

Man, I want a railcard. Or… do I? :sexface:

Is it sad that I'm really looking forward to watching Cupcake Wars?
