Opening another bank account - Effect on mortgage application?

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?
