University
students often have more than one
student bank account, research from Student-Finance.co.uk suggests.
Over 60% of students have two
student bank accounts. 20% of students have three bank accounts. Only 15% of students have one student
bank account, as the high street
banks advise.
The survey was conducted on 3,204 university students throughout the
UK within the last 3 months.
Males are most likely to own more than one student bank account. The primary reasons given by students for having more than one
student bank accounts included the various tempting incentives offered, the need to pay extra fees, and the benefits of a combined overdraft.
Student
finance experts have advised students to be cautious regarding their student finances. Multiple student
bank accounts can soon spiral out of control. With student
debt at an all time high, students are warned to be careful and selective when choosing student bank accounts.
