A Branch of Equity Bank

For students to survive in college even for a semester, they require a lot of money. This implies that any extra coin counts in the life of a student. The HELB loan for students is usually deposited through their bank accounts. Some are wise enough to start saving as early as that age. However, some banks take advantage of them and treat them as if they are employed either in the public sector or private sector. They insist that the minimum balance is above, Kshs .1000, which to a student, can buy the entire student Centre and the workers there.

Despite that, some banks have attractive account options specifically designed for students and children. Below are some of them.
