You can use your own bank account or your parent’s/legal guardian’s account to show financial proof for a student visa, depending on the country's requirements.

- UK: You must show funds in your own account or your parent’s/legal guardian’s account, held for at least 28 consecutive days. If using a parent’s account, you’ll need supporting documents such as a consent letter and proof of relationship. Joint accounts are also accepted with proper documentation.
- UAE: Requirements vary. If your university sponsors your visa, personal bank statements may not be needed. If required, you can use your own or your sponsor’s account, along with supporting documents.

Always ensure funds are accessible and meet the holding period specified.
