Savings Account with multiple pots

Hi, 
I've currently got an Intelligent Finance Current Account and Savings Account (I took my off set mortgage out with them when off-set mortgages where a new thing many many years ago). For various reasons now I'm looking for another bank for my savings. However, one of the things that I really do like about IF is that in my single savings account I can have multiple pots, and I can pay into them monthly. This I find is great for budgeting, as at a glance I can see what I have saved for any given thing. For example, I've a Car Insurance Pot, a House Insurance Pot, Gas Service Pot etc. 

I know I could just put it all into a single savings account, and use a spreadsheet to keep track of everything. But I was wondering if anyone knew of any other bank that did something similar.

Thanks

    I like Virgin with their attached saving account with pots. Easy to use and set up all online.
  • As above, that's what I use, plus their regular savers (when they do them), other savings accounts with my other bank and a spreadsheet.

    Pleased to see another person who has pots!

    As well as Virgin, TSB, Starling, and Monzo all have the facility to set up pots.
