Opening a bank account

If you are looking to open a bank account here in Ipswich, there is a wide array of choice as an international student.

Here is a list of some of the banks based in Ipswich and a list of eligibility requirements to open an account. 

We are also partnered with Blackbullion, which offers financial guidance on their online platform. All Suffolk students can access Blackbullion for free, and it is a great aid for students in all things related to student finance and budgeting. The platform has specific modules and advice for international students so you should find this really useful.
