Thanks for the info. I'll have to ring them, surely they can oblige if me & the wife are moving all our business away from Barclays to them, they should welcome us with open arms!
We would need in total -
4 current accounts - 2 each, one for salary and one for spare cash (these would not have to be a reward account)
2 joint current accounts, one for bills and one for food shopping.
I can't compromise as this has worked very well for us, we know exactly what we have each month.
You can try by all means, but I think there is a limit of three current accounts per customer, joint, sole, reward or otherwise.0 -

They have become strict - you can have only one Reward joint and one Reward sole account in you name i.e. 3 Reward accounts between 2 people. However, you could open an Everyday a/c which does not give you £5 and does not have £1000/month funding rule. You can manage all these account online with a single login so it is all very convenient.0 -

The Reward account limit is one single and one joint per person, so this would cover three of your accounts.
The other accounts would have to be Current Accounts - identical in every way to the Reward account except that you won't get the £5 Reward. Still, you'll get £15/month between the two of you, so can't complain too much!0 -
Thanks guyz, that's great! I'll go in the weekend into a branch to do this. once open, i'll put some money in as advised and leave for a few days and make sure it's all up and running, then i switch the DD's, salary etc next month as most come out on the 1st-4th of the of the month.0
