Starting university is a fresh start – why not give your bank account one too?

University life is full of opportunities, experiences, and new responsibilities – including managing your money.

New research from Pay.UK - which owns and operates the Current Account Switch Service - research has found that looking back, nearly half of students wish they’d paid more attention to their spending while at university, and four in ten would set a clear budget if they had their time again.

This all becomes much easier with the right bank account.

From savings pots and spending trackers to student discounts and cashback when you switch, many banks now offer a range of tools and perks to make staying in control simple.

With freshers on the horizon, students are using the Current Account Switch Service to switch to their perfect account – the service is free, fully protected, and completes in just seven working days.

All incoming and outgoing payments, including direct debits and standing orders, are automatically transferred, so nothing is missed, and you can switch with confidence.

Make sure your bank account is working for you as you embark on this exciting new chapter.

Look into switching today.
