The Co-operative bank has a well know reputation as being the "ethical bank". The co-op student credit card is no different from that with their "customers who care" programme which donates £1.25 to good causes for every £100 you spend on the card. Banning the use of land mines, addressing third world debt and biodiversity are some of the causes they have campaigned for.
It has a slightly lower credit limit (not necessarily a bad thing) than some of the other student credit cards available but has a really great package of benefits included.
- One low long term rate of interest on purchases, balance transfers and cash withdrawals
- No annual fee
- Up to 59 days interest free credit, if balance is paid in full by due date
- Free travel accident insurance up to £25,000
- 24 hour overseas medical and legal assistance
- Extensive travel privileges, including holiday and car rental discounts
This is an excellent student credit card. The complete benefits package looks to cover all eventualities and you'll encounter as a student. You can also apply online which is why it's received one of our top star ratings.
