Does this account come with debit card etc? Can you rather not have it. Surely, we dont need it with 3 accounts for the purpose of fiver?

You can request not to have a debit card on opening the account, I did so with mine. If you've already opened it, with a debit card, you'll be able to cancel it.

Please can someone explain this faster payments jargon to me?does this work for payments fom different banks?

Also, I am planning to open 3 accounts for myself (followed by 3 for DH)....is it best to open one at a time or all 3? can I do it on the internet?

Do I need £1000 to open the account or just a niminal £1?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Some banks offer Faster Payments, others don't, and most those that do have limited usage. Only one or two seem to operate it fully. THIS link may help. THIS APACS link might help you to find out who receives FP.

You can apply for the 3 accounts one after the other, but there's no guarantee that Halifax will open all 3. There doesn't seem to be any reason for this, I managed to open 3, husband only got 2 and the reason they gave him for refusing the 3rd was that he'd already got 2.
