    Its always wise to have at least 1 backup current account, just in case of problems.

    I have 3 - Halifax, tsb and yorks bank

    I guess the pay in can come from anywhere (check T&C) so it may just mean a standing order from one current account to another.

    Ah sorry, what I actually meant was my income to be split to feed both accounts, I receive money each month from different sources so it wouldnt involve payroll.

    Thanks everyone, all done and dusted!

    FYI - This can be done, just depends on if your employer is willing to do this for you.
