There is an error in the info in the anove link.

Wherever it says you can have 2 accounts(1 joint), it really means 3 accounts with one of them being a joint account.

Santander but you have too much, they will only accept 20k. Put 3k in NSI or go on holiday.

No, one person can have 2 accounts, of which one must be joint with someone else.
This means two people can have 3 between them, but one person with no-one to have a joint account with can only have one.

I'm confused, you start by saying one person can have 2 accounts,

Then you finish by saying but one person can only have one account.

That will be why you said two accounts really means three accounts.

Read the whole of the sentences.

One person can have a maximum of two accounts (of the type specified), one of which must be joint. This means that one person cannot have three or more accounts, in any combination of sole and joint. They may have just one, and if they have no-one with whom to have a joint account, they are limited to just the one sole account, unlike at Tesco, where one person can have two sole accounts.

Two people can have a maximum of two accounts each, but since one is joint, this totals to three, not four.

Yep, you explained it really badly, it's obvious that a single person cannot have a joint account.

So a single person has one account

Two people have three accounts, a single account each and one joint account.

:rotfl:, more like you understood it really badly when you read it and decided to criticise as a bit of bluster to hide your embarrassment.

When the table in the link is headed "How many can YOU have" and then the table says YOU can have two accounts (one of which must be joint), the link is telling the truth and doesn't need correcting by you saying the link is wrong.

But from this "you can have two accounts (one of which must be joint)", it follows that if you do not have someone who wants to share an account with you, you will not be able to get the two accounts.

If there are two of you, you can each have your own account, and you can each have a joint account, but the joint account that you each have, will be the same account, so the total number of accounts is three.

Three people can have six accounts (three of which must be joint), or twenty people can have 210 accounts (190 of which must be joint).
