Having the right documents to hand will help speed up your application.
When you apply for a current account with us, we’ll need proof of identity and proof of your address. As an international student, we accept letters from your university that confirm your term time address.
Your university letter must be from a recognised university, and your campus at the official address on the letter. We’ll need to be able to match the address for the student housing to the application address, and, if a flat or room number is needed, you’ll need to follow this format:
Line 1: Flat 1
Line 2: 12 Smithe Street
Line 3: Optional
Post Town: Glasgow
Postcode: G1 1AA
*This statistic was formed by calculating the number of accounts added in a 12 month period divided by the number of hours in a 12 month period.
