20 bank accounts for 20 accounts?

First time I hear this. Always used a visa gift card instead.

Is this possible? Anyone?

Yes.

In the UK its quite easy to open a bank account (over a period of time) with, say, 5 banks and then have 4 or 5 savings accounts at a time with each bank. Can easily have 25 bank accounts at a time.

So you guys with 10+ bank accounts and/or accounts w/ different banks - do you funnel into one main account or do you leave the cash spread out? I'm not sure if I want to look like I'm doing laundry or if I want to have to keep my banking straight or not sure if banks even care.

Mate, they would record the color and consistency of your stools if only they could. Probably someone at facebook is already thinking on an engaging way to do it as we speak.

Have you ever seen your credit report? Aren't all your banks and all your accounts there?

ChexSystems... Great. Another domestic spy agency. Why isn't there a ChexSystems where we can see which when and how companies are nosey, or leakey, or sneaky?

In the USA bank accounts have nothing to do with your credit report. We are not socialist UK.

Check Systems is actually a really easy negative balance/bouced check monitoring kinda like a credit system for checking accounts. IF you have a problem, you pay your debt and instantly, it is cleared. Really no big deal. Also, MANY banks and credit unions dont use CheckSystems but they also wont cover overdraft and offer less services.

Ok, less bad.

But here we don't associate these kind of activities with a socialist government. (Good) socialists put individual citizens on the same footing as moneyed organisations. I don't see what example you usually associate with socialist but we tend to call these fascist.
