DS1 is off to Uni very soon. He went into the bank, one that DH & I have used for 20+ years, to change his account to a student one.
He had a brief chat with a staff member over the counter and she gave him some information and some leaflets and advised him to have a read, decide if he wanted a CC and to make a proper appointment.
We looked at the information (deciding whether a different bank might have better offers) explained why a CC was not a good idea and then DS went to the appointment.
He came out and has now been issued with a CC. He explained that he didn't want one but the advisor told him he should, that in a few years he might apply and not be successful and that he might need it for emergencies.
AIBU to thank banks should not offer CCs to students with no income or am I over reacting?
