1.关于开户

最好是在有名的银行中开帐户。

it's best to open an account

银行会问你开账户的金额为多少

And how much would you like to open your account with?

每个银行的开账户时的最小额度minimum sum不同

要咨询一下汇率exchange rate和利率interest rate

英国的几个比较有名的银行有Barclays 和 Lloyds。

然而,得清楚很重要一点是留学生不能享受到提供给当地学生的设施。

However, it's important to note that as an international student you'll not necessarily be eligible for all the facilities offered to resident students.

银行有不同的政策,他们提供给你的服务是取决于你的个人情况,同样也取决于银行经理的自行处理。

Banks have different policies and the services that they'll offer you will depend on your individual circumstances*and on the discretion of the bank manager involved.

注意:documentation指的是文件总称。

2.提供材料

作为一个留学生,你需要提供证据证明自己能够支付费用,直到课程结束。

as an international student,you will need to provide evidence that you can fund/support yourself for however long your course lasts.

(拓展记忆:存款为funding)

除此之外,大多银行要求你带上你的护照和你的录取通知书

In addition to this, most banks ask you to bring your passport and your letter or certificate of enrolment .

或者带着学校注册信 letter of registration

其它证件:

护照大小照片 passport size photo

驾照 driver's licence

出生证明 birth certificate

信用卡 credit card

借记卡 debit card

(拓展记忆:凭卡办理存取款和消费结算,不能透支。Access to deposit,withdrawal, purchase, and payment, overdraft prohibited.)
