Do all bank accounts have a set monthly amount you have to deposit

Afternoon everyone

I apologise if this is in the wrong thread couldn't see one about bank accounts
I have a very bad credit rating and have a main bank account that all my wages go into and all my direct debits come out
For now thats absolutely fine i'm meeting my payments no worrys there

I am making money on the side through various ventures, ebay,slice the pie etc and i want to keep that money in a seperate bank account however the amount going in per month would probably be a regular amount of £100 a month
Are there any bank accounts that would allow me to deposit that small amount a month in there ?

Thanks :D

  • I think they are all going that way but maybe a basic account would be best for you.

    I have an online account where I keep all my ebay, etc money. It goes into my current account then I transfer it across
  • Yes - I looked when I started matched betting.

    I have a Lloyds Direct account that I set up over the internet which seems fine. Other than that, there are a few out there (Nationwide Flex Account I think).

    Have a look at the Budget and Current Account board as there's lots of info on there.

    Why are you only looking at current accounts? Wouldn't a savings account be suitable?
  • I have one its an online one with cahoot i could use it but i cant take money out from the account what i need to do is move the money from my savings account to my bank account and i can do that online
    Although thinking about it i would be best sticking with that because i get inrest on it and wont be tempted to take out the money as much as i would be if it were available from a hole in the wall

    Thanks everyone
