First Direct > Rent, bills & other fixed outgoings
HSBC (along with my HSBC CC) > transfer £500 every month for food/booze/fun (all the same thing to me )
A&L %6 > Use this to stockpile ££ so I can send it over to NZ at a better rate and sometimes the 0% overdraft to cover a credit card bill so I don't pay interest (when I've gone over budget).

7 current accounts in total.

1 x HSBC account (as they were my first bank when I moved to the UK and don't want to close it, that way I can say I've been with one bank for ages)

1 x Halifax (just for the £5 per month)

2 x Abbey (one because I wanted a Visa Electron card just for booking cheap flights - yeah I know Ryanair are stopping free payment by Electron but there are other budget airlines - BOO RYANAIR! When Abbey gave me a Visa Debit card instead of Electron by mistake, I opened up another account for the Electron but kept the Debit open for the 5% interest).

1 x A&L (for the 6% interest)

1 x Lloyds Vantage (4% interest on balances up to £7,000 - that's approx £18 per month interest)

1 x ASB Bank account in New Zealand (my home country!)

As the introductory interest deals finish I close the accounts. Also, I like to have at least two current accounts, because that way if one debit card is stolen, or retained by an ATM, I have a backup.

Plus I have about 5 or 6 savings accounts, but most of them were "best interest rate at the time" accounts that now have a pants interest rate and that I haven't got around to closing.

I thought I was obsessive but seeing td_007's list of accounts above, I don't feel so bad!
