Hi

I'll make this brief

I currently have a first direct current account, with a regular saver account (6%AER)

However, I'm looking at also opening a santander account to make the most of their 3% interest on current account balances, before then putting the monies in an ISA.

My concern is that, as I'm looking to secure a mortgage by the end of the year (hopefully), it will have a negative impact on my credit score

Is this an issue or not?
