How on earth do you keep tabs on that many :eek::eek:
Spreadsheets. It's not that hard. I only really use a few accounts such as TSB for contactless transactions.:footie:Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.

Three.
One current account (HSBC) for anything and everything.
One current account (Post Office) to be used as emergency electronic funds/ savings pot/ save using CC etc - but can't currently use with any confidence because of unresolved faults their end.
One ISA (HSBC Loyalty) for savings.
I was too bad at using ISA money for larger purchases (glasses, new PC )then not paying it back or overspending on CC then having to use ISA funds to pay off (I always pay in full monthly).
I am now paying back via weekly SO and anything else I can scrounge up such as scratch card wins £2+, Cash back £5+, survey pay outs, bagged coins etc.
Hence opening the PO account (I pay in a small SO weekly and a ratio of the cash from above methods) as i've banned myself from touching the ISA. However as mentioned can't use it currently :rotfl:0
