Quick and Easy - Having 4 current accounts

Hello everyone,
A hopefully nice quick and easy question.
I have 4 current accounts mainly because they offer 3-5% on balances. Will this have a negative effect on my credit score? All my current accounts are in credit.
Thanks
Darren

There is no such thing as a credit score, it's just a made up figure.
Your current accounts should show on your credit reference files but them being in credit makes no difference as this information is not shown, just a bunch of green zeros or if you have an overdraft, how much you owe/your limit is.
So to answer your question, no it shouldn't affect your file negatively.I'm a Board Guide on the Credit Cards, Loans, Credit Files & Ratings boards.
