    I can't see you getting anything other than a student credit card and usually you have to have some kind of part time job before they will consider giving you one.

    Both Ulster Bank and BOI are good for student banking, including credit cards. When I started college two years ago, I signed up for an ulster bank student account, and two weeks later a credit card arrived. It was simply a matter of ticking the box and signing on the dotted line. BOI had a policy that you must have on average a balance of €400 most of the time in the previous year, but not sure what the requirements are now. I believe AIB also offer a student credit card. Policy on handing credit cards out vary from bank to bank, but given the limit is usually about €400-€500, its not too big a deal.

    BOI literally threw a student credit card at me so give them a look.
