Bank account with benefits for young people/students??

Hi,

I have head that there is a bank here in Swizz where young people or students can get some benefits, when making an normal account. It schould be some discount cards or free pass cards to activitives and so on.

Because I have to set up an account within the next week, and it is always nice to get some extra benefits)

Does anybody know anything about this??? Or do you know if some banks are better for students??

xx
Helle

Almost all offer benefits to students. Main benefit is free account and free debit, credit cards. Look for promotional offers from BCV, post finance, UBS on their websites. All the best!

UBS is especially friendly to students. They offer a "Campus" account with no fees, good interest rates, plus a Euro >25 card, which gives you discounts and free entry to museums/etc. They also have some kind of loyalty club(?) which sends discounts for shops like H&M, Thalia Books, etc. They also give you a Mastercard with no fees - great for booking travel online.

Re: Bank account with benefits for young people/students??

Hi I am moving in Ticino for a Master but I got a problem...

I am slightly OVER 30 so I am afraid that these offers aren't avialable to me despite regularly being enroled in a Swiss Uni...

Any suggestion?

Thanks
