Struggling to open a bank account?

The student bank account offers you:
     • An international debit card for paying goods and services on the high street and online
     • A 24-hour access to your account via Internet Banking
     • Competitive international money transfers for sending money home
     • Flexible savings account with an attractive interest rate
     • A SIM card for your mobile, allowing you to make low cost international and UK calls
     • Exclusive information service for healthcare, transport and employment

We work in partnership with one of the biggest bank here in the UK and you can apply for it whatever the country you come from.

Necessary documents:
     • Application form fully filled in
     • Passport or National Identity card
     • A proof of address from your country


If you are not a student, we can assist you too! We will help you open a basic bank account. This type of account is ideal if you require only a few basic transactions per month.

The basic bank account offers you:
     • A withdrawal card for accessing up to £200 per day
     • A 24-hour access to your account via Internet Banking
     • Possibility of setting up direct debits for paying your bills

Necessary documents:
     • Application form fully filled in
     • Passport or National Identity card
     • A proof of address in the UK (driving licence, utility bill)




*** Please note that the bank account service is subject to terms and conditions which you will be given when you apply.
