Hi all,
I think this is a great site. Keep it up. Would like to find out the best savings account in which bank is open to International students who are new in the UK. Most that i've checked out are people who have been resident in the UK for 16 years. Which is also leading bank for students in terms of least bank charges?

Hi there! Thanks for joining us. What's your name? It's going to be tricky getting a savings account as you've found. Are you moving to the UK permanently, otherwise may be worth using one from your home country instead. What do you mean by bank charges? Like going over your overdraft charges or interest on borrowing? Halifax and Natwest are the most popular overall with UK students.
