I know a few accounts where you can future date ONE transaction at a time, or of course high interest current accounts, but I'm only interested in a savings account with a decent rate of interest which can do this - if any exist.1 -

You can get around the limitation of only two nominated accounts by having more than one savings account with them. Two savings accounts would allow you to schedule payments to 4 different external accounts. You can also schedule future transfers between different Skipton accounts.
When you schedule a future payment, you need to have sufficient cleared funds in your account to cover that payment when you schedule it.1 -

When you say "Skipton also allow multiple scheduled payments, but you are limited to two nominated accounts."
I am only interested in it going to 1 account and from 1 account. Did you mean that I could set up a string of, say, 4 future payments to that account, or did you mean that I could set up 1 future payment to 1 of my nominated accounts, and 1 to the other?
I can't test it out for myself yet because I'm waiting for funds to clear!0 -

However, soft searches are totally irrelevant. Your credit history is what counts and if you can make repayments on time, etc. as long as your gap is short lived and not 6 months or even a year I don't see any problems as long as you can repay from savings etc. Maybe head over to the sub forum and ask the question there as it isn't really an easy access savings topic1 -

One Skipton account feeding a single external account should be fine (although I have only tested two future payments).1 -
