ok, well I AM actually going to apply for a mortgage in the near future, so thats probably not a good idea, didnt think about the credit check.
And although you can have 2 accounts, it seems to imply you can have multiple pots in these accounts. Not sure yet but doesnt matter if theres a credit check involved. Need to avoid those!
Hmmm its looking like this is going to be tough to find!0 -
How about HSBC?0

they offer all this? Even so, i guess the credit check process means itll be out too if i have to open a current account0

I think in the great scheme of things a credit check for a current account is pretty lightweight unless your credit worthyness is touch and go
I've never seen any indication of multiple pots within a single account. What led you to infer this?0 -
