Yorkshire Bank launches student package

Yorkshire Bank has announced details of its 2007 package for students. The package, which has all the advantages of a normal current account, offers an overdraft facility of up to £1,000 in the first year and up to £3,000 in the remaining years of a course, as well as an interest rate of 3.3% on credit balances.

In addition, students will be eligible for special travel discounts through Apollo Travel Direct's Holiday Line, the opportunity to access top events with £100 to spend at Ticketmaster and a two for one cinema card to offset entertainment costs.

The account is open to all students aged 17 years and over who are in possession of a formal offer letter from a recognised higher educational institution.
