Student Bank Account

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me please.
I am with Barclays bank and trying to open a student account with them. I have entered my 16 digit UCAS banking code but it keeps saying it is incorrect and can't match it. I have retyped it several times and definitely no mistakes.
Has anyone had this issue before?

Are you a student already or will you start in September 2026?

You need a letter confirming your university place. Are you at uni now?
