Third-level student account and PLC course

bobgaf

Hi.

My son is trying to register for a 3rd Level Current Account. He's undertaking a PLC course which will hopefully lead to a third level course. The drop down in the application form does not contain the college he's currently attending, it contains only third-level undergraduate colleges. However, the application site clearly states the following : " This can be in a post-Leaving Certificate college or higher education institution ".

Is there a way around this on the online form or does he need to drop in to a branch to create the new account ?

Regards, bobgaf.

Hi there,

Thanks for checking in with us.

Your son can apply for a personal current account online if the college is not showing on the list.

Once your son receives the SMS with new account info, they can call into any nearby Branch with proof of studies and they can amend to student status( avoiding the monthly fee of a personal current account)
