Banking information for Freshers

It is essential to set up a UK bank account for your time at Churchill as soon as possible after you arrive.

Please note, we cannot recommend any particular bank.

If you require a letter confirming your student status for your application, please contact the Tutorial Office (for Undergraduates) or Rebecca, the Postgraduate administrator (for Postgraduates); we will be happy to provide this.  Please provide them with the name of the bank with which you wish to open an account.

A direct debit mandate  form will be sent to you for completion and return to the Students Accounts Office.
