Students offered Royal reception

THE 1992 student package from the Royal Bank of Scotland includes a cash gift of pounds 20 for all new account holders, which is credited as soon as the student pays in the first grant cheque or provides evidence that tuition fees are being paid by the local authority or Scottish Education Department.

New students are also given an interest-free overdraft of up to pounds 400 in their first year, tiered interest rates on savings, a Highline card, commission-free travellers' cheques and foreign currency and a free Eurocheque card.

The package only applies to those opening accounts this year.
