We've had more problems with UK based banks and been 'ripped off' by them ... by comparison Santander are angels! At present we've got 31 current accounts (but 2 are going to be 'switched' shortly) and 18 saving accounts/bonds between us ... so at this point in time that's 49 accounts in total ... we've already swiched a few too so the total was even more until recently! Some of our current accounts don't pay interest but have to be opened in order to access other savings products, such as monthly savers etc.
I have them all on an excel spreadsheet which is a thing of beauty if I do say so my self ... and a necessity ... no way could I keep track of the account numbers, log-ins, passwords etc without it ...it is suitable password protected, coded and hidden of course!
If you are prepared to put the time in and take advantage of the 'switching' offers out there you can earn a nice bit of dosh ... I think so far we've 'earned' over £1500 between us doing this ... think of it as nearly half a Smart car! The most labourous part is setting up the standing orders to meet the account terms for 'monthly throughput', but once they're done I can just leave them to chug away each month.
