Student bank account guide

The student market is a large one for banks and they will home in on you as soon as you've passed your A-Levels.

Knowing that as students you will max out their overdrafts, and take credit cards and anything else given to you, you're easy prey.

Why is this good for the banks you ask? Because as soon as you finish uni the interest will raise like a salmon and you will most likely spend the rest of your lives banking with them.

Make sure you don't get stung by choosing a bank account that looks after your money.
