How to apply for a Halifax Student Current Account

It only takes a few minutes to open a Halifax Student Current Account online.

Before you begin you will need to have a confirmed place at university or college. When you apply you need to give us:

• your university's or college's details;
• your term-time address (if you don't have a term-time address you can provide this later once you've sorted out your accommodation);
• your previous address (if you have lived at your current address for less than three years).

Now you're ready to start your application. Click on one of the links below.
