How many current accounts do you have?

How many current accounts do you have, and why?

I.e. one for wages and spending, and a second for household bills (utility direct debits / rent) etc?

Maybe a third to put money into exclusively for use abroad on holidays?

It would be very interesting to find out peoples methods for managing their finances.

Why do you care how other people manage their money? Look after your own finances however suits you best.

Three.

One main.

One for spare money/save up for treats.

One for the 3% interest, using it as savings.

Too many to count OP.
