In many cases you won\u2019t have time to work a full-time job, but you still need to fund your living expenses.<\/p><p>Thankfully, most of the major banks have created student bank accounts to help ease your financial worries during your studies.<\/p><p>These accounts usually come with a <strong>large interest-free overdraft<\/strong> that you can borrow from when the purse strings become particularly tight. This is arguably the most useful aspect of a student bank account, especially if your student loan isn\u2019t enough to cover your cost of living during your studies.<\/p><p>It\u2019s important to remember that interest will be charged on all student account overdrafts eventually, so it\u2019s best to use it sparingly and repay it as quickly as possible.<\/p><p>Many banks also add <strong>freebies<\/strong> or <strong>discounts with retailers<\/strong> in order to tempt students to their accounts. If you\u2019re a student with a bit of money to spend, these accounts might prove more eye-catching than those with huge overdrafts.<\/p><p>Ultimately, the best student account will depend on your personal financial situation.<\/p><h3>How are student bank accounts different from regular current accounts?<\/h3><p>Student bank accounts are, by all means, full current accounts and not very different from non-student accounts: they do all you can expect, from providing you with a debit card to letting you set up standing orders and direct debits.<\/p><p>However, they\u2019re tailored to your student life, offering great benefits and freebies. Unlike standard accounts, most student accounts also offer a 0% overdraft.<\/p><p>Banks are generous with these accounts because in most cases your student account will be your very first bank account, so they use it as a way to attract new customers that they hope to keep for life.<\/p><h3>What is required to apply?<\/h3><p>To apply for a student bank account, you\u2019ll need to provide the same personal details as when applying for a regular bank account. Your proof of ID, basic financial details, address history and a credit check, etc.<\/p><p>You\u2019ll also need to provide details of the course you\u2019re studying to prove you\u2019re a student. You\u2019ll usually have to provide your UCAS number, as well as the name and length of your course, plus your university name.<\/p><h3>Student bank account overdrafts<\/h3><p>One of the core features of student bank accounts is the 0% overdraft. It means that you can spend more than you have in your account without being charged any interest, which is great because a student\u2019s income is not always as constant as, say, an employee\u2019s salary.<\/p><p>You\u2019ll be credit-checked when you apply for it, but don\u2019t worry too much \u2013 as a student, banks won\u2019t expect you to have a massive credit history anyway.<\/p><p>The limit of your student account overdraft will usually increase for each year of university; by the third year, it can be pretty high, sometimes up to \u00a33,000. You\u2019ll need to request the increase though.<\/p><p>As we said, overdrafts are great and mean you can get extra money for your Christmas gifts or for a special night out, but don\u2019t forget that you\u2019re still borrowing money and will have to pay it back at some point.<\/p><p>For students requiring further credit or looking to start building a positive credit history, most banks can also offer student bank account holders a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/credit-cards\/student-credit-cards\">student credit card<\/a> (subject to approval).<\/p><h3>Student bank account freebies<\/h3><p>Even if you\u2019re not planning on touching your overdraft (wise resolution!), student accounts can offer a variety of other benefits to choose from. Here are some examples:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Interest on your balance.<\/strong> Up to a certain balance limit. Great if you think you\u2019ll be able to stay in credit most of the time.<\/li><li><strong>Transport discounts.<\/strong> Some accounts come with a free 16-25 railcard, which would normally cost you \u00a330 a year and features a 1\/3 discount on all rail fares in the UK. If you\u2019d rather travel on four wheels, you may also be able to get a coachcard.<\/li><li><strong>Cash upfront.<\/strong> A sort of sign-up bonus to lure you in. Cash isn\u2019t an especially fancy reward, but it could be better value if you don\u2019t think you\u2019ll take that much advantage of the other benefits on offer.<\/li><li><strong>Discounts and cashback.<\/strong> Some accounts offer dedicated discounts at certain retailers or restaurants, or cashback options.<\/li><\/ul><h3>4 money-saving tips for students<\/h3><ul><li><strong>Budget well and you might not need an overdraft!<\/strong> Going to uni is all about learning new things and gaining life experience. Why not get a head start and get into some good money habits from your first term? There are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/budgeting\/best-budgeting-app\">range of budgeting apps<\/a> to help you with this.<\/li><li><strong>If you need to go for an overdraft, makes sure it\u2019s 0% interest. <\/strong>Like we\u2019ve said above, it\u2019s best practice to avoid the overdraft. But\u2026 a few big nights out in a row and it\u2019s easy to find yourself there. If this sounds like you (let\u2019s be honest, it does), you want to make sure you\u2019re paying 0% on your overdraft. The interest-free overdrafts that come with students accounts mean this is one of the only times in your life you\u2019ll be able to do this!<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t go over the overdraft limit.<\/strong> You might have a nice big 0% overdraft, but don\u2019t exceed the limit on that. Banks will start charging you for every day you\u2019re over the limit, so watch out!<\/li><li><strong>Switch to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/current-accounts\/student-bank-accounts\/graduate-bank-accounts\">graduate account<\/a> when you\u2019ve graduated.<\/strong> You should aim to pay off your student overdraft ASAP. When you\u2019ve finished uni, switch to a graduate account with good rates and terms that will allow you to pay off the debt.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"did-you-know u-bg--sky-subtle u-rounded--lg\" data-component=\"did-you-know\">\n        <div class=\"did-you-know__block\">\n        <h4 class=\"did-you-know__title\">\n            <span class=\"did-you-know__title-icon\">\n                <svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <circle cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"12\" fill=\"#00B2FF\"><\/circle>\n                    <path d=\"M17.5 22.5C17.5 22.7967 17.412 23.0867 17.2472 23.3334C17.0824 23.58 16.8481 23.7723 16.574 23.8858C16.2999 23.9993 15.9983 24.0291 15.7074 23.9712C15.4164 23.9133 15.1491 23.7704 14.9393 23.5607C14.7296 23.3509 14.5867 23.0836 14.5288 22.7926C14.471 22.5017 14.5007 22.2001 14.6142 21.926C14.7277 21.6519 14.92 21.4176 15.1667 21.2528C15.4133 21.088 15.7033 21 16 21C16.3978 21 16.7794 21.158 17.0607 21.4393C17.342 21.7206 17.5 22.1022 17.5 22.5ZM16 9C13.2425 9 11 11.0188 11 13.5V14C11 14.2652 11.1054 14.5196 11.2929 14.7071C11.4804 14.8946 11.7348 15 12 15C12.2652 15 12.5196 14.8946 12.7071 14.7071C12.8946 14.5196 13 14.2652 13 14V13.5C13 12.125 14.3463 11 16 11C17.6538 11 19 12.125 19 13.5C19 14.875 17.6538 16 16 16C15.7348 16 15.4804 16.1054 15.2929 16.2929C15.1054 16.4804 15 16.7348 15 17V18C15 18.2652 15.1054 18.5196 15.2929 18.7071C15.4804 18.8946 15.7348 19 16 19C16.2652 19 16.5196 18.8946 16.7071 18.7071C16.8946 18.5196 17 18.2652 17 18V17.91C19.28 17.4913 21 15.6725 21 13.5C21 11.0188 18.7575 9 16 9ZM29 16C29 18.5712 28.2376 21.0846 26.8091 23.2224C25.3807 25.3603 23.3503 27.0265 20.9749 28.0104C18.5995 28.9944 15.9856 29.2518 13.4638 28.7502C10.9421 28.2486 8.6257 27.0105 6.80762 25.1924C4.98953 23.3743 3.75141 21.0579 3.2498 18.5362C2.74819 16.0144 3.00563 13.4006 3.98957 11.0251C4.97351 8.64968 6.63975 6.61935 8.77759 5.1909C10.9154 3.76244 13.4288 3 16 3C19.4467 3.00364 22.7512 4.37445 25.1884 6.81163C27.6256 9.24882 28.9964 12.5533 29 16ZM27 16C27 13.8244 26.3549 11.6977 25.1462 9.88873C23.9375 8.07979 22.2195 6.66989 20.2095 5.83733C18.1995 5.00476 15.9878 4.78692 13.854 5.21136C11.7202 5.6358 9.76021 6.68345 8.22183 8.22183C6.68345 9.7602 5.63581 11.7202 5.21137 13.854C4.78693 15.9878 5.00477 18.1995 5.83733 20.2095C6.66989 22.2195 8.07979 23.9375 9.88873 25.1462C11.6977 26.3549 13.8244 27 16 27C18.9164 26.9967 21.7123 25.8367 23.7745 23.7745C25.8367 21.7123 26.9967 18.9164 27 16Z\" fill=\"#232320\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"did-you-know__title-text\">Student bank account jargon explained<\/span>\n        <\/h4>\n        <div class=\"did-you-know__content\">\n            <strong>Funding requirement.<\/strong> Some accounts require the account holder to pay in at least a specified minimum amount each month, academic term or year.<br><strong>AER.<\/strong> Annual equivalent rate.

Those that do have a separate page on their websites illustrating the perks available and the monthly fee attached.<\/p><p>As there are so few perks available, international students would be well advised to choose the account with the lowest monthly fee.<\/p><p>However, some students may be more drawn to the accounts that offer lower international transfer fees, or those that don\u2019t require you to visit a branch to open an account.
