How to open multiple bank of Scotland accounts?

Arcan

Sorry to ask another question so soon after my last one, but I haven't been able to find the answer on the forum or online.
Can anyone tell me how to go about opening another two bank of Scotland accounts? Thank you

From distant memory, my 2nd and 3rd were opened by phone.

That's also my recollection, leaving 48 hours between each. This was back in Jan 2013 though, so maybe it's different now?


Are these Vantage accounts or are you opening donor Classic accounts for switching incentive purposes?

I opened three accounts online quite recently. I left a few days between applications.

I recall seeing a link online to "open a second account." I used this to open my second account.

Then a few days later I used the same link again to open my third!

All 3 accounts are Vantage, used for savings, not for switching.

I opened all three online. Did them over about two weeks from what I recall.

Has anyone else had an issue with not having a local branch to accept on the online form? I don't seem to have one in a 40 mile radius and the registering stops when I don't allocate one.

So allocate one! Everyone has a "nearest branch". Mine is 250 miles away in Glasgow!

Thanks Yorkshireboy! I thought maybe it had to be close enough to satisfy them. It's my first attempt at using the 5% loophole! I've got a TSB account and will soon have a joint one too. Next is hopefully with BOS so I can make the most of it. Thanks again.

Your views please
I have had one current account + vantage for a few months and have just gone online and opened a second, I did this whilst logged on, I found that I could not complete the application without setting up a new user name and password so now I have two logins I rang BOS and it took two phone calls to be told they can 'migrate' the second account to the first and I will be able to use just my original login but this will take up to 10days to do.
I would like to set up a third account soon but fear going through the same procedure, did I do some thing wrong when I applied for my second ? Could I have avoided this problem
thanks for any advice.

You may have done something wrong, but I'm not sure what. Was there an option to quit the application after you had the "application successful" message and saw your new account number? But you then went on to set up a new online access, even though you already had one?

I did not set up a new online access with BoS. It's been widely reported on here that Halifax and BoS use the same systems and the same userIDs. I found that my existing Halifax logon credentials also worked for BoS. I can see all my Halifax and BoS accounts via either website.

does anyone know how to find this online? I'm really struggling to see the option. I have my first account open but want to open another two. thank you
