    It is possible to have more than one current account with the same bank.

    None of the many banks with which I have current accounts restrict me to only 1 current account.

    However, many of them do restrict the number of current accounts 'with benefits'.

    I don't bank with Barclays though, so can't say what their policy is. Does their website not tell you:cool:

    I have 2 with Barclays amongst my accounts.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    Please could you edit your post to show the interest rates payable on accounts 2, 3, 4, & 5.

    You never know...others may find it useful, should the rates on their 5%, 3%, 2%, and 1.5% savings accounts be cut again after Jan/Feb 2017.

    Is that a bad thing??

    I am sure it will be fine and will close my nationwide account down (Don't feel the need to have it)


    I can think of five very good reasons.
