    Can two people use the same mobile number?

    Yes! I created accounts for myself and my partner using the same mobilephone number.

    Why's it not good? It's additional security

    Why is it not good when the emailed code you need to access your account never arrives? :wall:

    Opened one account first thing this morning. No supporting docs were required during the process. Just name, nationality, tax status here in UK, full address, mobile number, income bracket and current account. Verification link was sent, that's pretty much it. Wired over a few grand, was credited in less than 30 min. Pretty good!

    Does anyone know if it's possible to open 2 Marcus accounts in my sole name? I want to keep 2 amounts of cash separate (nowhere remotely near the 250K upper limit, unfortunately)

    Up date on mine (first deposit declined & returned to linked ac... and 2nd attempt same) - their CS came back and theorised it's to do with not an identical match between the name I used on the 2 accounts..

    I have to send a printed linked ac statement...to a PO Box address, for no one's attention..

    I've redacted some detail.

    Back to waiting to fund the ac. or seeing if they find something else to be picky about.
  • Savings accounts called Marcus, TV stations called Dave, cars called Clio, but people reduced to NI numbers. The machines are taking over.
  • but people reduced to NI numbers.

    I still have a name. I've had an NI number for decades and no one calls me by it.
