Student accounts are changing
- To apply, you must be 17+ and have been living in the UK for at least 3 years. Online applications only.
- Student accounts will be provided by NatWest.
- You need to be a full time undergraduate student (on at least a 2-year course at a UK university/college) or nursing course lasting a year or more. You can apply within 6 months of your course start date.
- To confirm you're a student and eligible for this account, we require your unique 16 digit UCAS code. Courses without a UCAS code are not eligible for our student account.
- You must use your student account as your main account by depositing student finance, wages, or other regular income into it.
- You'll be applying as a completely new customer to NatWest, unless you already hold accounts with NatWest.
Do you want to open a new Student account?
We've recently changed our Student account product offering. You'll now be able to open a Student account with NatWest, as we no longer offer this account with Ulster Bank.
Whether you’re already enjoying university life or planning ahead and thinking about your first year on campus, you can now open the account with NatWest and benefit from any Student account offers and perks.
