Nuna Syeda, head of current accounts, HSBC:“Every year students tell us they need a simple account with useful perks, so we’re continuing to offer a generous overdraft with absolutely no fees, whilst giving them money to spend on whatever they like at Amazon.co.uk. We know that 85% of students bank online and 47% use a mobile banking app so we’ve worked hard to improve both over the past year; plus our text alerts help them keep track of their spending.”
