    I think you are all being sucked in with this nonsense and surprised this spam is still on here.

    You are going to end up creating a lot of problems for yourself, no matter what your intentions are regarding "collecting" debit cards.

    You are already waving big red flags at banks, I'd not be surprised if other banks on your list start shutting the accounts down.

    No it's not illegal, but could be looked on suspiciously by the banks as to why you need so many.

    its not spam, i am serious and i have that many accounts you may called my stupid or whatever, i dont care as i told you it is my hobby and the reason to ask about it is illegal is just to know can i get in trouble for opening current accounts? how i maintain my accounts is not hard , as i can put money into my accounts from my savings.

    I have overdraft facility on many accounts not all of them, i needed money as i was referbishing my home.

    I dont want current account but i want Debit Cards, so if i can get debit card with a savings account which i have with northern rock, i wouldnt mind.

    How much are your fee's for these accounts monthly?

    Still not buying this dribble sorry.

    Well the OP's first post on this forum didn't receive a favorable reception

    It was probably an unwise topic for a first post :o

    That said it would be useful to have a banking hobbyist on the forum , I wonder if he will post in the future

    I did wonder why he didn't mention pre-paid cards if his hobby is collecting VISA/Mastercards :p

    Doubtful he will post again because he removed his post. Each to his own I think: I collect U.S. Dimes and some people think that's strange.
