Tom
: Hello. I'd like to open a bank account.
Clerk
: What type of account do you want?
Tom
: Well, I'm going to London University in October and I need somewhere to deposit my grant.
Clerk
: Well, who pays your grant?
Tom
: The British Council.
Clerk
: You could open a student account with us.
Tom
: What does it offer?
Clerk
: Oh, normally, you'd receive a chequebook which saves you having to carry a lot of cash around. 
You would also get a connect card which you can use twenty-four hours a day in our machine at any 
branches and in the machines of Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and the Royal Bank of Scotland. You can 
obtain up to two hundred per day and night by using your connect card. The connect card can also be 
used for a cheque guarantee card.
Tom
: Sorry, what is that?

Clerk
: A cheque guarantee card enables you to cash up to fifty pounds without prior arrangement at 
most banks in the UK. And you'll need it to pay shops, garages, hotels, etc. because it guarantees that 
your cheque will be honoured.
Tom
: I see. Will I get interest on the money in my student account?
Clerk
: Yes. You will get a small amount of interest i.e. up to five hundred, interest is four percent. Five 
hundred and more, the interest goes up to six percent.
