Using all sub accounts in a bank
 

Banks give you many sub accounts, example Checking, Savings, Savings 2, Savings 3, etc. This allows you to churn multiple accounts for stealth.

I've read some older threads of people doing this but they did not mention the account number discrepancy.

For example with a Canadian bank the routing # will be the same and the account number will be off by only a few digits for example:

Checking: XXXXXXXX87
Savings: XXXXXXXX90
Savings2: XXXXXXXX91

I am worried the close resemblance may create a flag on Amazon's end.

What have others success rate been with this?

I guess by now you know I am old school.

Amazon look for similarities. The bank accounts might be too close.

It absolutely depends on account creation.

BTW, I think this is a really valid questi0n to discuss.
Thank you.

For my US and Canadian bank accounts I really try to avoid a simple 1 or 2 digit difference - it does look a bit iffy to me and GB correctly pointed out potential for similarities.

This is why I stagger bank account creation - some time allows for more variation in digits as well

another detail is per state/branch aba/routing

Agree - what's your situation?

Re: Using all sub accounts in a bank
 

I doubt it would be an issue.. I feel like Amazon looks at other factors more closely and not so much this..

Also you can wait a bit between opening each account and the numbers wont be that close.
