Opening a santander student account

I'm opening a santander student account online, but i am confused by this question:
"What is the purpose of the new account?"- options: primary account, secondary account, bill payment account, household maintenance.

What is the difference between them? I will receive my maintenance loan through Santander, and the majority of my spending will be through it too.

I have a current account elsewhere (I will keep it), and but the majority of my spending will be on the santander account.

thank you!!

Repairs to your home etc. Don't worry about it.

An account used for household maintenance, I'd imagine? The purpose of the account really doesn't matter in the slightest.

It's alright - if you do, it'll come out of your accommodation deposit anyway :wink:
