Yep she has a current account and a esavings account.
So you weren't immediately ruled out due to having a current account but the likely cause was the number of deposit accounts.
For such a basic account, there is almost no risk from a debt point of view so it would appear to come down to their policy.0 -
Basic accounts don't usually require a credit check (no credit facility) just an ID check to satisfy anti-money laundering regulations.
