Barclays do have an international student account, and it seems like the best one as there aren't any fees for sending and receiving money.

I'd go for that as the rest seem to have hefty fees for international transfers.

thank you!
I'd say app-based banks are the best way to go. Monzo, Monese, Starling etc.

I use Monese which I'd highly recommend - very fast to open and anyone can get an account, no fees and no international fees, payments are instant etc. Here's a link to it.
