Your sort code will be the same, but you will have a new account number for the savings account, which you can then use on paypal.
I've done this twice in the past week. I have a current account with HSBC and with BARCLAYS. Both those current accounts have been used and banned by paypal.
I went into my Barclays branch, and said I would like to open a savings account. They literally did this straight away, while I was there. I left the store with an account number, which I went home and used on paypal immediately. All sorted. Paypal is up and running.
HSBC was even easier. I've got online banking with them. I logged in, and it let me open a savings account at the click of a button. I was amazed at how easy it was. Account number was issued straight away.
