When can you open a student bank account?

You will need to open your account as soon as possible, preferably before you start your course and before you start receiving student loan payments.

You can actually open an account once you have a letter off UCAS or your university confirming that you have been fully accepted on to a course.

However, some banks will even let you open an account once you have a conditional offer, if you provide proof.
