Student life brings with it a different kind of learning curve as young people across the country embark on a new adventure and try to find ways to make their money go further. And in a cost of living crisis, the curve is even steeper. A survey carried out for the personal finance website Save the Student last year showed that 82% of students worried about making ends meet, while one in 10 had resorted to using food banks.
Choosing the right student bank account won’t magic away your money worries but it could help to provide a buffer zone when your balance creeps into the red, and perhaps some helpful perks, too.
