Bank accounts are places to store and access your cash. Unlike a savings account, a standard bank account usually won’t accrue interest as these are meant to function as everyday transaction accounts. Are you looking for your next student bank account?

Student bank accounts are geared towards student depositors and as such tend to offer low or no fees for full time tertiary students. These accounts are usually tailored to meet the unique financial needs and situations of students as they will generally not be working full time.
Generally speaking, most modern banks will offer an app alongside opening a bank account with them. The advantage of banking apps is that they allow you to manage your money and, quite often, allow you to move money to your savings accounts or utilise automatic transfers.
Banks will also usually offer debit cards that connect to your bank account when you open your account with them. Nowadays, you also have the option of also adding a digital card to allow you to make payments using your phone or smart watch.
While there are many banks that offer student centric bank accounts, it’s important to check what they offer so that you can open an account with the provider that works best for you. Some of the things to consider are:
ATM network: Banks generally allow for fee-free withdrawals from ATMs in their own network.
Fees: Some student bank accounts offer low or no fees, so make sure to compare so that you’re not paying too much for your bank account.
Banking App: Digital banking has become the norm, so check to see if the bank you want to join offers one.
Age Limit: Student bank accounts will generally have an age limit so check that you fit in the age bracket.
Post-Student transfer: Some student bank accounts are designed to transfer you to a standard account after you’ve finished your tertiary education or after you’ve exceeded the age limit. Check to see what the situation is in these cases for the provider you’re considering.
