International Students: Opening a UK Bank Account

Our new leaflet, telling international students everything they need to know about opening and using a bank account in the UK.

Code: AE244

Coming to school, college or university in the UK can be a daunting experience, especially for those arriving on these shores for the first time. In order to help international students get set up with one of the fundamental things they need - a UK bank account - we have published a guide explaining exactly what to do.

Answering everything from 'How do I choose which bank is best for me?' and 'What is the best way to bring money with me into the UK?' to 'Can I open an account based on Sharia principles?', the BBA's International Students: Opening a UK Bank Account guide gives all the information that students need. It also includes a useful table, outlining all the suitable accounts available and their features.
