    Between us, sole and joint, we have "a lot". Probably over 20.

    Looking to "downsize" soon!

    I’ve got 2 I don’t ever use and one I use occasionally.
    The other two are my main accounts with Barclays- a Student Additions and a Basic Current Account. I only keep the basic as OH often asks me to get stuff for him and it’s set up as a payee on his account so it’s easier just to transfer it over. Plus it’s useful for keeping stuff separate for any bills etc.

    Current Accounts - 14 between us at the moment. But we'd be looking to consolidate this as money moves from them into our pensions over the next few years.
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    Main one, wages.

    A spending/tracking account for every day use.

    And a buffer with a few DD on it for switching.

    1 X Nationwide FlexAccount (for access to Flexclusive Regular Saver plus free European travel insurance)

    Don't you need a FlexPlus for travel insurance?

    Not if you already had it on FlexAccount when they pulled it (a year or so ago?).

    Wow! I'm impressed by the number some people have the time to manage.
    I have 3, one each for salary, bills and switching and my other half thinks that's over complicating things!

    Probably more than most on here, but I do have both the time & inclination to manage them all. Its becoming less lucrative though:(
