Do YOU have multiple bank accounts?

Current Accounts

3 x Lloyds Vantage Accounts (1 used as my main account) I want to save up to 15K in these over the next year or two
1 x First Direct - Used for the Regular Saver 8%
1 x HSBC - Again used for the Regular Saver 6%
1 x NatWest as a back up account and use of the Emergency Cash Service
1 x Nationwide Flex Account - 3rd back up

Recently closed Barclays, Citibank and Halifax current accounts.

Depends on what you mean by "bank accounts". I have what is probably a standard set up of current account for income, savings account for irregular money needs such as xmas and birthdays and ISA for money I don't really need to draw from.

How many bank accounts do you have:

Do you feel it's pointless to have more then 1 current account:

Why do you have multiple current accounts:

Just interested.

I have 4 current accounts so far (and I'm 18!)

For student OD in 1 and saving rates in the other 3

Yeah but it was a year since the last post.

I hate to break up this excellent dialogue but I have a question:

Is it still worth keeping my Halifax Easycash current account for the Visa electron? I opened it purely for airline fee avoidance but now it seems to be of no use. I don't use the account for anything else. Is there any fee I can avoid with this card?

Thanks
