How many bank accounts do you have?

I would love to see all those debit cards.:D

As of Tuesday this week, I will only have one current account and one saver account.

Oh and an old passbook account at the Abbey.

That money wants spending. I know of a great OCD clinic in Gran Canaria. See you there :cool:

Ah Ha you admit to OCD, who will look after your accounts when you are away. Enjoy!!

No I don't admit to anything OCD. Just have a great SOH.

As to who will look after my accounts when I am down the road in the sun: there's this thing called Internet that you can use when not at home. Try it some time.

Hi

I have 2 - a Santander 1-2-3 account and a Halifax Reward. That's enough for me at the moment.

13 across 7 providers. 3 are joint & 1 is husbands own but I manage them all. All interest bearing with max in. 1 properly used as current account with the interest bearing money ringfenced. Another is for annual bills, again, with interest money ringfenced.

Those & all other savings, monthly savings & ISAs are enough for me to manage while still working.

In answer to FOREVER21's post: I am committed to, and have been very successful at, growing my net value quite nicely

I've found the best way to do that over my many years is to ignore all advice from anyone claiming to be a financial expert, and marry well.

Only 2 current accounts but lots of savings accounts filled to the safety level.

Sorry my comment was meant as a joke, perhaps I need to label it
next time.

Boy oh boy, that sounds like many missed opportunities, one for each of those filled accounts.

You could do worse, but probably also better, as the 123 has never been the best account for paying interest.

Someone started a 'best interest accounts' thread today: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5374614

7 current accounts and a couple of pointless savings accounts.

should close a couple down because I only really use 3 of them, HSBC, Halifax and TSB.
