Landed

Arrive ready.

We do the set-up. You do the studying.

Your first 72 hours in the UK are a loop: the bank wants a phone number, the phone wants a bank account, the landlord wants both. Landed breaks the loop before you fly.

The 72-hour lock

Each step needs the one before it. Pick a step to see what it waits on, and watch Landed break the loop.

5 steps locked. Each one waits on another.

Solid arrow: the next step needs this one first. Dashed red line: a missing eVisa blocks it.

Why it is stuck

The bank wants a UK address and a UK phone number. Your home number does not count, and a landlord will ask for the account too.

How Landed unlocks it

Your UK number is live before you fly, and we match you to a bank that accepts your university letter. The document pack is ready when you land.

How it works

Three stages, in order. Some steps we do ourselves, some we fill in for you, some we hand to a partner or remind you about.

Apps that tell, and Landed

Guides and checklists are useful, and you still have to do every step. Landed does the step.

Bank account

Apps that inform: Lists banks and the documents each one asks for.

Landed: Matches you to a bank and prepares the document pack.

Phone number

Apps that inform: Suggests providers and tells you to get a SIM.

Landed: Activates a UK eSIM before you fly.

eVisa

Apps that inform: Explains what an eVisa and a share code are.

Landed: Checks your account is ready and which share code to use.

GP

Apps that inform: Links to the NHS page and says to register.

Landed: Pre-fills your registration form for you to submit.

Travel card

Apps that inform: Says a Student Oyster exists.

Landed: Pre-fills your Oyster or Railcard application.

For universities and residences

Phase 2. Students who consent get a Verified Arrival Letter built from the enrolment and term-time address you already hold. You see who is ready and who is at risk before term starts.

Questions students ask

Will a bank accept me?

The bank always decides. Landed matches you to a bank that suits your situation and prepares every document it asks for, so your application is complete the first time. In phase 2, a Verified Arrival Letter from your university gives partner banks proof of enrolment and address.

What happens to my data?

We would only use the answers you give in the plan, such as your country, university and dates, and only to build your plan and fill in forms. Sharing anything with a bank or a university needs your consent first, and you can withdraw it. In this demo nothing leaves your browser.

How much does it cost?

Free for students. Partners such as banks and mobile providers pay Landed a referral fee, and universities and student accommodation pay an annual licence. The eSIM plan price you choose is shown before you confirm.

Is Landed live?

No. This is a concept demo for a university entrepreneurship project. The banks, mobile provider and numbers are fictional.

Check in for the UK.

Five questions, one plan. You can finish your set-up from the airport queue.
