If this is your first account with a particular bank yes you tell them you have a current account with another bank and that you want to switch because you aren't happy with their customer service or such like. Of course you don't have to close the other account and don't let them sell you their switching service.

I have previously had no problem with Abbey and things seem to go okay.
However I really cant see Abbey letting me open another account, never mind 7 ( Seven ) accounts. I have over a period of months dropped a hint about this at my local branch, but the response is usually negative.
I really don't need accounts with debit / credit cards as these are treated as credit vehicles. And I am not in a position to apply for credit . . .
Are the 7 accounts you have with Abbey - savings or current acconts ???
My main problem is to open extra bank accounts so that I can transfer future funds from Paypal. Right now I can't see anyway around this . . .
I am happy using Debit Cards for online payment transactions, and instant small payments . . . No problem there, lots of Debit Cards available in the United Kingdom. |
