Student credit cards

Student cards are aimed at people studying at University and are similar to credit builder cards, in that they help younger people start to build a credit history. These cards will often be attached to student current account products, and you will need to prove that you are in fact a student to get one.

Student cards still carry the same responsibilities as regular credit cards. Missed payments, a poor credit history or irresponsible borrowing will make it more difficult to get a card as a student, and in the future.

If you are thinking about applying for a credit card and want to know more about your credit history, you can get online access to your credit report.
