    Normal practise (depending on what sector the bank is in) is to class anything over 12 month (since last inward/outward payment) as Dormant (which automatically imposes increased monitoring of the account for transactions in/out) and after 2 years as Escheat (i.e. to fall out of possession) which adds still further safeguards.

    Best way to do it, is to ping £1 over every 9 months or so, by SO.

    I’ve got 3 old current accounts that, whilst I don’t use them for anything, don’t want to close down.

    This is more importantly the case if there’s an OD on the account (except SO should cover any interest and preferably balance, too!
