Does having 2 current accounts have a negative affect on my credit rating?

Options
Hi All,

At the moment I have a current account with HSBC and Smile. The HSBC account is the one I live off and the Smile account is not being used at the moment.

I'm wondering if it has a negative affect on my rating having 2 accounts and if I should just close the Smile account.

Best Regards

    Don't think so I have 4 current accounts soon to be 3.

    All with different banks and 2 of them are joint.
