    Why do you have so many current accounts?!

    I opened Santander for their £100 switch incentive + £25 amazon voucher and 5% interest.

    Similarly opened rbs current account last July when they were running 2% cashback on debit card transactions for new customers.

    Opened nationwide flex account after I was preapproved for it when I applied for their mortgage.

    I have always used natwest as my main account but recently started using Halifax rewards account as Halifax rewards their customers better with credit products unlike natwest based on internal score. Then just yesterday Natwest sent me their purple debit card and approved me for an overdraft.

    Yes I probably have too many accounts but I have never got round to close them.

    These are all full current accounts. Nationwides flex account was opened as I needed it for one of their flexible mortgage deal where you don't pay any product, valuation and legal fees and can switch anytime and make unlimited overpayments.
