Hi all ,I work full time but sometimes make extra money which is cash, I want to open an online bank account that I can deposit the cash into it via ATM machine which I just want to keep for a rainy day 
Any help would be much appreciated on which online bank account would be best for this.

    Hmmm sounds like someone is trying to hide money from HMRC
    If you want to use an account which doesnt show up on a credit file then select a basic building society account
    Maybe yorkshire BS / coventry or mansfield for example.
    But would have to deposit over the counter.

    A savings account with a high street bank also won't show on credit files, but any interest earned on such accounts (with either banks or building societies) will be reported to HMRC if those are the prying eyes you're trying to evade....
