Naming separate savings account

Does anyone know which (if any) bank/building society offers a facility to have separate savings accounts for separate things? E.g. car insurance, holiday, emergency fund.

    Why don't you just stuff it in the highest paying account and use a spreadsheet to keep track of what its all for? Just a thought.

    This is what I do now but I'd rather have them separate if possible - it makes my life easier!

    I once named a savings account something stupid and felt quite ashamed when the customer service person repeated the name....

    Tesco lets you rename its Internet Savers
  • Halifax, BOS and Lloyds allow this.

    But done right, a single account (or multiple accounts aimed at maxing interest, rather than separating purposes) makes more money.
    eg the 5% accounts offered by Nationwide, Santander, HSBC etc.

    I'm not sure what the platform is called, or who provides it, but the internet banking solution provided by Lloyds, TSB and Halifax allows you to open as many eSavers as you like, which all appear on your account list on your internet banking screen and call all be renamed.

    On that note, does anyone know who else uses that platform? It's my favourite by a mile.

    The platform is called Lloyds Bank - they own Halifax and are still in the process of separating TSB out onto their own infrastructure.

    It's Lloyds Banking Group, and I presume Bank of Scotland also use it, maybe other LBG brands.
