New account - nice trick
 

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....

Re: New account - nice trick
 

Old news but might be new for some.

You have any better tricks? I like tricks :d:typing:

Re: New account - nice trick
 

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

Re: New account - nice trick
 

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

Re: New account - nice trick
 

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.

Re: New account - nice trick
 

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

Re: New account - nice trick
 

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

Welcome back adamwu - any info that is pertinent is always good info :)

Re: New account - nice trick
 

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

Re: New account - nice trick
 

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

:bird:

Re: New account - nice trick
 

but what can you do with bank accounts like nationwide?
Thanks

Re: New account - nice trick
 

You use them with your eBay business!

:bird:

Re: New account - nice trick
 

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.

:)

Re: New account - nice trick
 

I wonder if this works with a Barclays Basic ac?

Re: New account - nice trick
 

yes perfectly.

Re: New account - nice trick
 

Oh snap, this **** is revolutionary.

Get hype.

Re: New account - nice trick
 

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

Re: New account - nice trick
 

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.

Re: New account - nice trick
 

I haven't opened one recently, but the options is still there to apply via online banking.

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

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

Re: New account - nice trick
 

Controversial idea, but why don't you stop being a dick?

Re: New account - nice trick
 

As Play states, Natwest savers and Uaccount 'extras' can be opened with ease for this. Do open Natwest slowly though, also they do not like you to have more than 5 or 6 accounts of any type TOTAL, and it has been documented they will close all your accounts down in some cases where you exceed this.

Santander is very good for stealth, and quite generous with savers which you can open online. I have averaged between 8 and 14 savers with them the last 18 months or so with never a sniff of a problem. You can also send them a message to shut down any unwanted accounts via online messaging and they oblige happily within 24 hours.

Bank of Scotland is also good for 5 or so savers, and you can open and close online with ease.

Others that you can try that will work include Post Office Savers (up to 6 or 7 accounts), Virgin savers (up to 6 or 8 accounts).

Coventry, is good for 5 or 6 and can be used BUT they do not like mismatched names, much like LLoyds. Don't let this put you off. As long as the name you have isn't ultra rare, and as long as you use very different addresses and D.O.B's etc. from previously blacklisted accounts, then it is still possible to fully use these with caution.

Re: New account - nice trick
 

Never knew you could have that many bank accounts (with the same bank). I suppose opening a new one every 6 mths is ok?

Re: New account - nice trick
 

They are not bank accounts, they are savers. You have 1 main bank with each bank and use the savers as satellites.

Post office, Virgin, Coventry you do not even open a bank account, just open the savers.....which will not show on your credit report, although you need an 'established' nominated bank account to withdrawal to.

Just take it careful, some banks act differently to others regards opening times.

For instantly I wouldn't open more than 2 Natwest savers in a month. Santander though I would open 2 in a day ( but no more than maybe 7 or 8 in a month). Uaccount I would open 5 in a day. Horses for courses.

Re: New account - nice trick
 

Hasn't happened, so suggested action can't happen. Law of physics.

Re: New account - nice trick
 

I use Lloyds Halifax and Barclays with multiple savings accounts on each. All work perfectly....Lloyds being the easiest to open and close savings accounts online.

Re: New account - nice trick
 

coventry have problems with mismatched names

Re: New account - nice trick
 

Correct, as I have already said on this thread.

SO if you are one of the lucky common people, don't mismatch your name!

It seems 'blobby' has some severe anger issues.

Maybe some counselling chap?
