Bank Accounts....feeling a tad worried
Ive never had a problem with opening accounts as always done them online. I attempted to open one today over the phone and wish i hadnt.
Asked for a basic account and he asked what did i want it for. Having been put on the spot, i said for savings and for wages to go in if i get a job. He started waffling.about a savings.account until i need a.full bank account so i agreed. He then.said the only.one he.could offer was a saver isa account. I know to stay away from them and said no. He said he couldnt understand why i would refuse it. So he had no.alternative but to sign.me up for a bank account. He then waffled on about money laundering longer than necessary and then.said that a decision would be made by an underwriter in 48 hours. I guess ive made myself look dodgy havent i, by refusibg the saver ISA account.
My question is whether these banks know which other banks i have. I just.dont want to.draw.attention to myself and be questioned about why i have so many. That said, i only have 5 bank accounts.and one savings account....and three of those bank accounts are prwtty old so in fairness, im not overloaded with them.
Just feeling a.little worried and annoyed with myself for phoning to open one :-(
