This academic year’s university bank account deals are all out, ready for the fresh intake of new students. If you’ve got a confirmed place at university, you can apply for a student bank account now, but if you're still waiting on a place, call the bank you want to open an account with & check if you can open one yet.

The person or students also has to submit a photocopy of college ID proof, two passport size photographs and identity proof like passport, voter id card as well as any address proof (though for college students, address of hostel is sufficient).
