Student bank accounts
Can anyone recomend any student bank accounts in Oz?
Do they even have such a thing? Are they any better than normal accounts? Hubbie won't be a student, although he will be on my student visa, would we be able to have a joint student account?
Thanks very much for any recomendations.

Re: Student bank accounts
Hi Pumpkin Blossom,
We opened a joint account with the ANZ bank, no waiting to make appointments all done there and then. We showed them my COE and had all the bank charges wavered, which I was pleasantly surprised by considering I'm going to be an International Student where you pay for everything!!!
They were so helpful and so friendly.
Hope it's going well for you

Also consider St George Freedom Student Account - fee free banking and also you get a free visa debit card so you can book and purchase online etc without a credit card. I have both the ANz account and St George.
