The first thing students who come to study here should do is to open a bank account.  It may take some time to open an account in banks we know.  Digital banks can open accounts faster than traditional banks.  When we say traditional banks, we are talking about banks with branches and ATMs.  Digital banks in the UK do not have branches and ATMs.

Banks operating in different countries can also be preferred to open an account.  You may not even need to open an account at all.  For example, if you have a bank account with HSBC in your country, you can withdraw money from HSBC in the UK with low commission.  Of course, this is an example.  So you need to consult both HSBC in your country and HSBC UK to find out the right thing.

Banks such as HSBC, Barclays, Santander, RBS, Lloyds can request the following documents to open a student account:

• Passport
• Lease
• Invoice

Digital Banks, on the other hand, can open accounts without requiring a document.  Especially students who want to open a bank account prefer Monzo and Starling.

Students who want to open accounts from normal banks usually open accounts at HSBC, Barclays, RBS, Bank of Scotland, Natwest, Santander banks.
