hi! im an international student going to university this september 2021.
i want to apply for a student bank account. however, i have a few questions about this.
i know that in order to open a student bank account, i would need to show:
- proof of id (passport/drivers license)
- proof of address (utlility bill/tenancy account)
- proof of being a student (UCAS letter)
i am just unsure if i can apply for a student bank account because i dont have any proof of address and i am not sure about my evidence of being a student.
for the proof of address,
i am currently living with my aunt since february 2021 and i dont have any eligible letters under my name. i do have tesco clubcard, nectar card addressed to me using my aunts address but i doubt that can be used as proof. however i do have a ucas letter that i printed from my portal that contains my aunts address. would that be enough for proof of address? in addition, would using a phone bill statement be enough for proof of address?
for proof of showing my status as a student,
i have 2 conditional offers (one firm and one insurance). i do not have the grades yet as they do not come until early august. would i still be able to apply for a student bank account?
