Savings accounts with different savings pots

PrincessLou

Does anyone know of any savings accounts that you can divide the account into a few smaller 'savings pots' that can be named for different purposes e.g. holiday, car, emergency, etc? I used to have an ING account that allowed me to do this and separate my savings for different purposes but no longer hold this account. It was really useful, rather than just shoving everything into one lump sum.

Thanks in advance!

Nationwide for me and they don't mind how many you have and you can name them I.e. holidays, bills, food, petrol etc.

Which savings account is this? There are so many different ones...

Barclays do this as well with their e-Savings Reward accounts, as many as you like and rename to what you want. Interest isn't great - 1.25% for months you don't withdraw and 0.85% in months you do. These are bonus accounts so change them every year but it only takes minutes

I think Princess Lou is referring to the e-saver, where you can have multiple accounts and rename each one of them, but you can't just have one account number and subdivide it into several savings pots.

you can actually have as many different accounts as you want saving, current, ISA etc. and you can name them whatever you want put them in any order you want etc.
