Realizing dreams through saving
Studying is a big investment and costs a lot of money. For example, you have to pay tuition fees, buy textbooks, and if you're living away from home, pay rent for your student room. With our free student savings account, you can build a fund to ensure you can study without worries.
Would you like to lock your money in for a longer period?
You can lock your savings for a longer period, meaning you won't be able to access it for a certain amount of time. This ensures that your savings remain in your account. Check out our term deposits.
