    2 current accounts with the RBS - one for bills and one for everyday spends.

    2 savings accounts - and ISA and one with ING Direct.

    Me and my OH have well over 24 different savings and bank accounts along with current credit cards accounts and ISA's it is probably approaching 30 assorted accounts .I replace them as they loose their usefulness with new ones.
    Have a look at the stoozing forum I am sure there are others there that are busier than I.
    Until last year we had ten accounts just with ING.(have closed all of those now rates are aweful)

    Three current accounts, one with Halifax, one no longer used with HSBC, and one new one with Nationwide for international spending.

    Two normal savings accounts, one with Halifax and one with HSBC (second no longer used at all, first only used to keep my current account balance under £2500)

    Two cash ISAs, one with NS&I, one with Barclays.

    One mini Stocks & Shares ISA with Hargreaves Lansdown, and one Fund account with them outside the tax-free wrapper.

    I think that's it...

    Do Money Saving sites make you buy more bargains - and spend more money?

    2 current accounts (only use one),
    5 savings,
    1 NS&I Direct ISA

    Several of my savers are not used, i.e. ING, Nationwide e-saver and A&L's Online Saver. Currently using A&L's Direct Saver with 6.3% AER and Sainsbury's 6.25%. I keep the others active in case they become competitive again.

    P.S: If ING ever becomes competitive again I'll eat my hat :D

    I am sure there must be enough customer service stories there to dine out on for months
