Why should I get a student bank account?

David Malcolm (Student Finance Policy Officer) gives expert video advice on: How should I choose a bank account?; Should I increase my overdraft if I need more money? and more...

When it comes to student bank accounts, most banks offer particular current accounts for students, or student bank accounts, and they usually offer an interest-free overdraft, possibly cheaper borrowing facilities and so on with extra incentives and features which they think would be useful for students. Whether you should get a student bank account or not would depend on your personal circumstances, what your priorities are, and what you have in terms of your financial commitments. It's something to look at what student bank accounts are out there, what is available and decide whether it's right for you to have a student bank account or not.
