Bank Account

Rout

Morning All,
Not sure if this Forum is the right place for this, but its the only one ive used previously and found helpful.

I'd like to know if I request an additional bank account from my current bank (barclays) Identical to the one ive got (but without an O/D), will they do a credit check or just give me it? Reason being I have just bought a house, and I'd like to transfer my monthly 'spending money' out of my current account, and into another account.

I have an account with another bank but its a maestro card, which is sometimes a pain to use over the counter or on the internet.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael.

Hi Michael

I am unsure as to whether they will give you another bank account without doing a credit check (especially one with an O/D as that is a form of credit).



Re: the Maestro card, I have one and have not found anywhere that doesnt take it (not sure if thats a good thing :rotfl: ). Its the same as a switch and much better than a Solo card.
