    I've only got 5 regular saver accounts...must get more..

    First Direct, HSBC, Lloyds, Nottingham and TSB.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Yes, they mean you can only have one with them.

    Or, more accurately, you can only have one at a time, with them. When it matures you can open another - assuming they're still offering them :cool:

    Forget about the tax. Regular saver accounts will pay out next tax year and it's all paid gross with no tax deducted.

    If you fill out a self assessment then you just enter how much interest you earned and they'll figure out how much tax you owe. Under £1,000 of interest and it's all tax free if you're not a higher rate taxpayer.

    It would be pretty draconian if a bank prevented you opening an account with a different bank.


    Yes the restriction is on the number of accounts of a particular type that you can open with that particular bank.
