Question about FTSE All-share index trackers

Hi, Does anyone know what the maximum number of people who can open a joint bank account is? This is not for business purposes, a group of friends and I are saving for a group holiday and a number of them are particularly bad with money i.e. a large glass jar would definitely not work! ;) Many thanks, Tim

I tried to ask iii themselves but they were far too vague for my liking. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks CE

Chargeable events and Income tax

I can see why this is; the returns are a little better. But what of the negatives? I do rather feel that a lot of people are being encouraged to take on significant…

Any better instant access than Tesco 1.35% ?
I've been looking around for an instant access account to transfer to, as my existing savings rate is reaching the end of its special 12 month rate.

Refused Santander 123 account
Hi, I tried to set up a new Santander account but it came back as a refusal. My credit rating with Experian (who Santander use) is 934 and I haven't been refused credit for a very long time. Nothing stands out on my credit report, and I'm on the electoral register, so a bit bemused as to why they wouldn't let me set up an…
