As well as a good brain, students heading to university this autumn need a healthy bank account to help them through their degree course.
Fortunately, there are plenty of student bank accounts available, and it’s crucial that young people choose the best one for them, rather than just sticking with their old bank or choosing their parents’ bank because it’s an easy option.
