    I make it £19K - 3 x Classic and 2 x Classic +
    Classic on its own is pretty useless for new applications since you cannot add Enhance to it any longer.

    Not necessarily ;)

    one possible scenario
    Person A = 2 sole + 1 Joint with Person B + 1 Joint with Person C
    Person B = 2 sole + 1 Joint with Person A + 1 Joint with Person C

    Where A&B are a couple, and C is another family member

    Obviously, A&B need to trust C as well as each other :rotfl:

    So for just two people the maximum is six accounts for £12K.

    Bringing in a third person (as above) allows A&B to access those seven accounts specified and it's a maximum of nine in total for the three participants if C opens a couple of sole accounts too.

    For two people to have access to eight accounts would need a total of four participants so Person D would be called for!

    Worth reminding people that joint account create a financial association between the two parties on their credit files. You'd need to be very sure you won't get burnt.

    Where do you get 7 accounts from?
    As badger clearly sets out .... Person A has 2 sole plus 1 joint with person B and 1 with person C

    Person B has 2 sole, 1 joint with Person A and 1 joint with person C


    Total of 8 accounts (per my original post)


    you are right, person C COULD open 2 sole accounts as well making 10 accounts between us (not nine as you state.....) but being selfish we are only concerned about our accounts as a couple...!!


    and para 4 ??

    This is getting to complex. I couldn't be bothered for a few extra quid interest.

    You are counting the account held jointly by A and B twice, once as A's, and again as B's.

    I have three of these accounts on a sole basis, formerly Enhance accounts all converted on line. Three lots of £6.86 interest received today. Lovely jubbly.

    Eco Miser gets it! If A's joint account with B and B's account with A are the same account then the total is seven, but if you treat them as two separate accounts then both A and B would be holding five in total, i.e. beyond the permitted limit.
