Bank of Scotland to launch new Student account

Bank of Scotland is launching a tasty new student current account, offering £100 in cash and six months’ worth of Deliveroo vouchers, worth £90 - perfect for fuelling late-night revision sessions or post-lecture cravings.

What are students’ favourite Deliveroo orders?

Deliveroo data reveals students are big on burgers, with the classic comfort food the most popular cuisine ordered in the last year. But it’s not all indulgence - cucumbers have surprisingly taken the top spot for the most popular grocery orders amongst students, followed by eggs, fruit and avocados. Whether it’s a TikTok-inspired salad using fresh ingredients, a midnight snack run or stocking up on essentials students are mixing convenience with heathier choices.

When do students like to eat?

Sunday is the most popular day to get an order in, with 8pm the peak time for student deliveries - ideal for winding down after a weekend of socialising or gearing up for the week ahead.

What is the student offer?

Students who open a new student account from 1st August 2025 can receive a £100 cash incentive when they pay in at least £500 between 1st August and 31st October 2025.

On top of that, students can enjoy £90 in Deliveroo vouchers - that’s £15 a month for six months - as long as they make 20 qualifying transactions each month.

What’s more, if students across UK sign up to Deliveroo Students at the start of term, they will pay no delivery charges with Deliveroo Plus Silver on takeaway orders over £15 (restaurants) or £25 (grocery and retail shops) and can also access exclusive restaurant and grocery offers all year round.

What other benefits does the Bank of Scotland student account come with?

Students can apply for an interest free arranged overdraft, of up to £1,500, subject to application and assessment.

The Bank of Scotland app also makes everyday banking on the go easy - customers can access a range of features including card controls, subscription management and checking credit health, with the app using the latest tech to keep customers and their money safe.
