New account - nice trick

adamwu · #1 12-13-2016

Log on to your bank account and open a SAVINGS account. Its done, you have a new account number you can use.

If they ask to confirm, you can order any bank statement you want online to confirm it.

If this is not anything new I will delete the topic.

By Jove, this is a revolutionary idea....

Old news but might be new for some.

You have any better tricks? I like tricks

adamwu · #4 12-13-2016

I have not been here for ages. Came back as got busted few days ago.

Bradd · #5 12-13-2016

Yeah but it has to be the right savings account sometimes theyl give you a generic account number like 5000.88880

No need to be obnoxious to someone who is just trying to help.
And youll be amazed at how many people (especially noobs) are not familiar with these simple facts that experienced stealthers take for granted.

That means its not a bank account but an internal savings account

Bank accounts all use the same 6 digit sort code 8 digit account number layout

Banks like Nationwide have internal savings accounts though which do not use the above format and cannot be used with PayPal

Youre assuming OP is referring to a UK based bank account.
What he says does apply to US based accounts.

In my experience this works great with the royal bank of scotland, one can open 5 savings accounts over time with no problems.

Aye, that is why it is the Royal Bank of Scotland, (and Liverpool!)

That's what I need to know also.
They used to be good but then their sort codes and account numbers when dumb.

Let me know if you know how to fix it and if I ever find a fix I will let you know.

Oh snap, this **** is revolutionary.

Get hype.

RetroRedneck · #19 06-05-2017

Tried to open another one inside my Barclays account, but there's no option to do so.

new2stealth · #20 06-05-2017

Can anyone comment on this?

I know for a fact Lloyds and Halifax both have proper (unique) account numbers on savings accounts. Can anyone recommend any other banks to use for this purpose?

Controversial idea, but why not use the search engine on the forum? This subject has been covered 17462826 times.

Natwest is another good option. Really easy to open online.

Uaccount - another one recently surfaced on the forums. Since its new, take precaution.
