how to split up savings accounts?

Good afternoon mse's,

I am trying to find an internet savings account that allows me to have number of separate accounts with different names eg wedding, house bills, car etc. This is really for budgeting and does not have to be te top rate.

I did read on here that Sainsburys bank allowed this but I cannot locate the post.

Has anyone done this and which account would you recommend?

Thanks for your help. Si

    I have a LloydsTSB savings account attached to my current account (which i dont use) and you can create new savings accounts with that. its done straight away if you have an existing savings account with them.

    Have you tried Sainsbury's Bank website?
    If they don't then try Principality BS web saver account.

    I have 3 halifax websavers which they have allowed me to 'nickname' and appear as that on my online banking. Very handy as I have called one 'Bonus account' because it has a bonus on it til July and I want to remember that so I can transfer it back to my 'Rainy day' account when the interest bonus stops. They say I can have up to 5 web savers, I view them all at once along with all my other accounts (2 x current, 1 x reg saver and a credit card). I think Natwest/RBS allow you to do this too with their online savers.

    Birmingham Midhsires allow as many internet savers as you want, each with a different name.

    I have about 9 websavers, I think they have reduced the number you can have now. I have the following

    Web - Car
    Web - School Trips
    Web - Clothes
    Web - Xmas
    Web - Holiday

    etc

    Its great because I have standing orders going into all of them because If I thought about it I wouldn't be able to afford to save into them but somehow I always managed to find the money to pay for the items as they came along. Evenually I bit the bullet and set the accts up. Works a treat

    Thanks for all your useful replies. I will look into all the options.

    Also have been reading on here about the cash back available on opening certain savings accounts. So may be able to sort myself out budget wise and earn a bit of free cash!!

    Cheers Si
