Narev u talking about the advanced savings account?
Yea if i open that one, it is way simpler and i can link sg acc to uk, but per transaction is $10 (transfer/withdrawal). And minimum sum to maintain is $20,000. I dont want to lock my parents money in my acc for 4 years... So i dont think its a good idea.
If i am not wrong, my uni have RBS bank, but last year they have some drama going on, so i worry if its trustable ornot. This is why i am comtemplating. I will see how it goes when im there. I heard that it is easy to open a student bank acc in uk, u would need student permit n offer letter etc, so eventually i will only get a better idea when i m there.
Anyway the limit to cross the border is 9000 pounds. Im currently in discussion with my parents, if i am done i'll share how i do it.
