I’m interested in the First Direct switch, but I’ve never switched before. I currently have the Edge Student current account with Santander and I’m entering my 4th and last year of uni. I’m with them for the railcard (which I have physically) but not much else. Would there be any reason for me to stay with the student account/be unable to switch?
