So it's a savings account, not a student account you're looking for? (Accurate titles help people help you - I've edited the thread title as people who know all about savings, but bugger all about student banking might avoid your thread altogether ).

What kind of return are you looking for? Do you need access to it on demand, or can you do without it for a couple of months/year etc? The clearer the info you give, the better people can help you/

sorry really dont know that much about banking tbh.

well anything half decent would around 3% would be good ? I can do without it for a couple of months but may need it half way through college.

cheers for the help
