Will the bank let you open a current account – preferably a student account?
Will the bank give you a cheque guarantee card?
Will the bank give you a cash card?
What are the opening hours? Do these suit you?
What overdraft facilities will be available?
Does the bank have a student adviser?
Can you pay by Standing Order/Direct Debit from the account?
What incentives does the bank offer new international students to open accounts? (It is worth asking this even if you come to Sheffield after September.)
