Quick savings account question

Hi,

I am about to set up a standard and a regular savings account (i.e. the fountain system) and have a quick question. Do banks do a credit check when you apply for these accounts?

Cheers
Tino

    AFAIK no, but if you need to have a linked current account to get the regular savings then they will credit check on that.
