  • You'd be best to ask them ..... I have 2 accounts with a bank and my main one used to have my salary going into it, the account fee coming off it and my OD on - the 2nd account had all my bills coming out of it.

    When I downgraded the account (saved £10 / month:money:), the account fee had to come off the one with all the d/debits on (no idea why) - my salary still goes into the other one and the OD is still there (but don't have one on the 2nd account that the fee now comes out of & is really now my main account IYSWIM).
