Banking

​

Want to set up a bank account? Visit https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/studywithus/international-applicants/scholarships-fees-and-finance/banking.aspx for more information. Generally, there isn’t a lot of difference between the bank accounts offered for international students. You might therefore want to consider choosing a bank that is the most convenient.
