Where can I open a UK bank account as a student?

Question

Banks ask for proof of address that I don't have yet as a new arrival. What actually works for opening an account?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry, many students face this issue. You can try visiting a bank branch in a student area like Bloomsbury or Camden. Some banks, such as Barclays or HSBC, may accept your university acceptance letter and student ID as proof of address. You can also ask your university for a letter confirming your student status. This letter can help you open a bank account. Check with the bank first to see what documents they accept. You can use our /school-match tool to find universities near your preferred area.
