    4

    My main one is with Halifax where my salary goes into and most DD's come from.

    A second one with Halifax that I sometimes transfer money too, but might close it soon.

    A 123 account with Santander, I was using this as a savings account when it was paying 3%. Going to transfer the last bit of money in there over to my S&S Isa and close it.

    A Flex account with Nationwide. Had this for years

    savings means account without typical current account services?
    accounts with high interest rates in which you put money that you don't spend in the short time

    am i right?
  • On 7 at the moment. That will probably do me, for now, unless another switching offer comes along, or I go for another rewards account.

    4 for interest.
    2 for rewards.
    1 for fee free European transactions.

    physical ?
    Yes most are 'purely' 'online' a/cs, but a few have a chequebook, etc (if that is what you are asking). Just never bothered to close them after an incentive, or some other use....

    Yes physical sorry for my english.

    But excuse me one question:
    in UK when you have to close a current account you can make it by a total on-line procedure?

    Or have to write a "physical" letter and sent it by post office with a "registered letter" spending for example 7£...?!? (I admit that I don't know how much a registered letter costs in your country)

    So If you have 61 accounts, and ipotize that the UK Government decide to put a fee on the possession of account (both on line and physical for example Brexit-tax ), you will have to sent 61 letter and spent 61x7£=427£ if you decide to close all 61 accounts (or 213£ for 30 unused accounts) ?
