Opening a Student Account

Princess3

Hi,

I'm thinking about opening a student plus account with AIB. Does anyone know the benefits of doing this? I already know that you don't have to pay certain types of fees but is there anything else? I just need an account that my wages can be paid into as I really only use my post office account for saving money but I now need a bank account for my wages.

AIB on Campus usually have promotions around orientation week. Free stuff like travelcards etc. You can open the account at any time provided you're a full time student and the course is two years or longer.

Drop into any branch and they will open it up. Bring your student card and usual ID/bills.

They offer an interest free overdraft up to €1,500 on the student plus account too.

That's downgraded to €1,000 for graduate accounts.

That's great thanks!
I can open up one soon enough then, really only going to use it for my wages to be paid into.
Thanks

Yup no worries! It can be opened any time and you won't have to pay fees with it being a student account.

That's ideal for wages.

Have a good weekend!

Perfect, I only need it for my wages to be paid into as the rest of my money is in the post office.

Thanks for the help!

Garda Age Card. You don't need the other 2 that you listed.

You are given a sheet where you write down your course, college, length of course etc on it, so Student Card isn't required.
