What would be YOUR ideal student bank account?

Question

A lot of students will have recently been researching what offers all the high street banks are coming up with to attract us students this year. Natwest is offering the free 5 year railcard, HBOS up to £3000 interest free overdraft & Barclays free cinema tickets. But as a student what rates and freebies would attract you most to a bank?

Answer 1

I like going to ANY atm and not getting fees.

Also interest is a plus for a checking account.

Free checking account is a must.

Low minimum balance is good in some cases even though students are supposed to be saving lol.

I don't really ever use checks so free checks isnt such a big deal.

Rewards with debit cards are ok.

Oh and I use US Bank. It's been good so far.

Answer 2

Well one of the banks where I live offered a $100 dollar discount on the new iPod nano, if you switched to their bank. I thought that was pretty clever.
