At this session with HSBC or Danske bank they will advise which documents you will need to open an account. You will normally need to provide: 

• Your passport 
• A document confirming your UK address (for example a contract for your accommodation). 

• A letter from Queen’s University confirming that you are a student, you can request this bank letter from our Student Registry team via this button 

The bank may also require information about your bank account in your home country and proof of your home country address. Please note that your passport will not be accepted as proof of your overseas home address by the bank. 

Please note some international students will be able to set up a HSBC bank account from their home county, details can be found here
