Not all credit cards are suitable for students. Many credit card issuers insist for example that customers must be over 21 or earn more than £10,000. The cards below all have very low (student loan or part-time job low) or no minimum income and are available to everyone over 18.

Credit cards can be great for students:
1. To spread the cost of large purchases such as laptops.
2. To build credit history, making future credit agreements (such as mortgages) easier to obtain and cheaper.
3. Most cards offer free fraud and delivery protection - very useful when shopping online.

Remember to pay your balance every month and a student credit card can be invaluable, see below for the best cards for students. Hide^
