Natwest, the
high street bank, are offering a
free five year young persons
railcard with all new
student bank accounts opened before October.
Natwest, arguably one of the most popular student banks alongside
HSBC, are offering free student
railway cards, enabling
students to get up to 30% discount off
train travel. Alongside free railcards, Natwest claim students will also receive advice, an
interest free overdraft, discount rates of
insurance,
commission free travel money and 24 hour access to their student bank account.
In the first year, students can receive an
interest free
overdraft of up to £1,250. Students are also able to receive a free student
credit card and online banking, as with most bank accounts. Natwest claim they are ideal for students as bank accounts can be opened online with instant online access to bank account details. Natwest also have branches on, or near to campuses, and offer commission free
travel money.
However, students are unlikely to be swayed by commission free travel money.
Natwest also offer graduate accounts, with graduate
mortgages, graduate
loans and appropriate savings accounts.
