My 2nd bank account MISSED OUT my MIDDLE name, can this Cause Problems??

If i applied for a bank account 5 years ago, with the name say

Joe Smith

and now I apply for a secondary one, online (with the same bank) with my middlename also included too:

Joe Warren Smith

then
Account 1 = Joe Smith
account 2 = Joe Warren Smith

then could this cause issues? (in matching the 2 accounts)
- as in, could the bank think they are 2 diff people?

can i change one of them, so they Both are the same name, in the branch?

or will the banks recognise them as 1 person? as they are both me?

(Both addresses on both are the same)

Nope.

Some of my accounts have my middle name others don't.

Never caused me any problems what so ever.

I had issues when applying for a mortgage,
somehow along the way, different documentation between passport/driving license and bank accounts had different details. Some with middle name and some without.

And the mortgage advisor at lloyds (who we were applying with) said it was a problem.

Basically set the whole process back about 8days while i got them all fixed. So now I would just fix them as they come up so they are always the same

The only problem i ever had with my middle name was when i opened a Natwest account last year. I put my middle name on the application form but didn't have it on any of my ID. They told me they couldnt continue and i had to wait till the application expired and complete it again with the middle name missing.

So, i filled it in again with the midlle name missing and it went through fine and i had the account.........which has my middle name on it:rotfl:.
