Students to Chatter Cheaper With a 40% Discount on Pay-As-You-Talk Mobile Phones

Students to Chatter Cheaper With a 40% Discount on Pay-As-You-Talk Mobile Phones when they Open a New Royal Bank of Scotland Student Account.

Students can indulge their favourite accessory when they open and use a Royal Bank of Scotland Student Royalties Account before 31 August 2004. Account holders will receive a 40% discount off the price of the full range of Vodafone pay-as-you-talk mobiles worth a maximum saving of £120 on Vodafone's top of the range handset.

The offer is available to all students opening a new account with The Royal Bank of Scotland, whether they are already in their studies or starting later this year. Savings of between £16 - £120 can be made, depending on which handset they choose, ranging from £40 - £300. Given the discount, students may even be able to treat themselves to an upgraded handset based on their original budget.

The Royal Bank of Scotland, unlike any other bank in the UK, allows students to open accounts as soon as they have been offered a place, whether conditional or unconditional. Students are advised to open their accounts as soon as possible, as Andrea Aitken-Paige, Head of Student Banking, explains: Having early access to your account is invaluable as a student. It allows student loan payments to be made quickly, giving swifter access to cash for all those student essentials. This can alleviate some of the financial pressure felt when leaving home for the first time.

It also gives students access to an account, which has been designed to offer benefits and discounts totally in tune with a student's lifestyle. The account provides financial support over the long term with benefits, such as fee free overdrafts, and discounts off entertainment, such as nightclubs and DVDs.

With a new mobile phone in your pocket, you can also utilise Royal Bank’s newest service and ‘top it up’ at one of their many cash machines UK-wide. These are offers that students will really use.
