in Budgeting & bank accounts
On my online banking screen there's a blue strip on which is typed 'Open another bank account with us - perfect for managing monthly bills'. As I already have 3 Vantage accounts, I don't really want to waste the time applying if somebody else has!

    I'm pretty sure you can only have 3 BOS vantage accounts in your name - if you already have the maximum, I would think they will allow a 4th account but not allow vantage to be added to it.

    I have seen the message as well and I will ignore it as I don't want to draw attention to my BOS and Halifax accounts.

    If the computers didn't want you to have those accounts, you wouldn't have them!
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Plenty of institutions sloppy IT allow accounts to be opened when their T&Cs say they shouldn't.

    In fairness, Colsten is working within the T&Cs but I agree about keeping a low profile as (like many of us) may not really be in keeping within the spirit of current accounts in using them for interest benefit only.

    Yup, especially as there are occasional reports on this forum of people having their Lloyds group accounts closed.
