We\u2019ve outlined some of them below:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Earn interest.<\/strong> Some current accounts pay <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/current-accounts\/high-interest-current-account\">competitive interest rates<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Budget better.<\/strong> Having different accounts can help you budget better, as you can ringfence funds for bills or commuting costs in a separate account. <\/li><li><strong>Make money.<\/strong> Maximise your earnings by having a current account that offers cashback or other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/current-accounts\/current-accounts-with-rewards\">rewards<\/a>. <\/li><li><strong>Avoid scammers.<\/strong> It\u2019s harder for scammers to access funds and take all your money if you have more than one account.<\/li><li><strong>FSCS protection.<\/strong> The FSCS limit is \u00a3120,000 per provider, so if you have a lot of money in a current account, it\u2019s best to spread it across more than one account to guarantee protection.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid overseas fees.<\/strong> If you regularly send money abroad or travel overseas, you might want an additional account that holds multiple currencies or has fee-free transactions abroad.<\/li><li><strong>Switching deals.<\/strong> You may want a dummy current account on hand to take advantage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/current-accounts\/best-bank-switch-deals\">switching deals<\/a>. <\/li><li><strong>Always access your money.<\/strong> More than one account means you\u2019ll always have access to money \u2013 even if a bank has a tech failure or your card is frozen due to fraud or loss. <\/li><li><strong>Joint accounts.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/banking\/joint-bank-accounts\">Joint accounts<\/a> can help you manage household bills and other expenses with a partner or housemate.<\/li><li><strong>Branch access.<\/strong> You may want a high street bank account with branch access as a separate account, if you solely rely on a digital bank. <\/li><li><strong>Business accounts.<\/strong> You might want both a personal account and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/business-banking\">business account<\/a> to keep your business expenses separate from your own.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"best\">Reviews of secondary bank accounts<\/h3><div id=\"revolut\">  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n                                                                                                    \n\n                \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<style>\n.best-hero .hotstats .product_infobox tr { display: flex;

The account also gives you access to a savings account, plus you can take advantage of the round-ups feature. This automatically rounds up your spending to the nearest \u00a31 and transfers the difference to a savings pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n  <ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\">    <li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000002\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000002\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">Pros and cons<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000002\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\">    <div class=\"u-grid\"><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/2@s\"><p class=\"u-font--bold\">Pros<\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"><li>Rewards when you spend<\/li><li>Interest when you don't<\/li><li>No fees abroad from Chase<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/2@s\"><p class=\"u-font--bold\">Cons<\/p><ul class=\"list-13\"><li>No branches if you prefer face-to-face banking<\/li><li>Can\u2019t deposit cash or cheques into the account<\/li><li>Overdrafts not available yet<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/li>    <li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000003\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000003\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">More details<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000003\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\">    <div data-category=\"\" data-niche=\"UKFSA-CUR\" data-fieldset=\"bestpage\" class=\"UKFSA-CUR bestpage \"><table class=\"i_infobox product_infobox\"><tbody><tr><th>Switch service guarantee<\/th><td class=\"i_infobox_data product_infobox_data\">Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Account fees<\/th><td class=\"i_infobox_data product_infobox_data\">\u00a30<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Overseas card transactions<\/th><td class=\"i_infobox_data product_infobox_data\">0% <span class=\"table-popover\" rel=\"popover\" data-content=\"There is no charge for debit card transactions in foreign currency outside the UK.\" title=\"More info\" data-original-title=\"\" tabindex=\"0\"><\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/li>  <\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/4@m u-1\/3@s box no-margin-bottom is-hidden is-visible@s\"><div class=\"has-padding-small\"><div class=\"hotstats has-margin-bottom-small\"><div data-category=\"\" data-niche=\"UKFSA-CUR\" data-fieldset=\"bestpage_hotstats\" class=\"UKFSA-CUR bestpage_hotstats \"><table class=\"i_infobox product_infobox\"><tbody><tr><th>Account fees<\/th><td class=\"i_infobox_data product_infobox_data\">\u00a30<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Interest (AER)<\/th><td class=\"i_infobox_data product_infobox_data\">0% AER<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div><\/div><div id=\"monzo\">\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n                                                                                                    \n\n                \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<style>\n.best-hero .hotstats .product_infobox tr { display: flex;

credit score?<\/h3><p>Opening a bank account could lower your <a data-trigger-introductory-modal=\"true\">credit score<\/a> temporarily, but this is only likely to be a problem if you open several accounts in a short space of time.<\/p><p>Each time you apply for a current account, a credit search is usually carried out (especially if the account has an overdraft). If you make a number of applications close together, lenders will see multiple searches on your credit report and this could indicate you\u2019re desperate for credit. As a result, they may be less willing to accept your application. To reduce the risk of this happening, try to space out your applications by around 6 months.<\/p><h3>How to open another current account<\/h3><p>Opening a second or third current account can be done in the same way as opening your first. You simply choose which account you want to open and fill in the application form. Depending on the bank, you can do this in branch, over the phone or online. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/current-accounts\/\">compare current accounts<\/a> here.<\/p><p>You\u2019ll usually need to provide proof of ID and proof of address, along with your address history and income details. If you\u2019re opening a second account with the same bank, you may not need to provide all of this information.<\/p><p>Just remember that it\u2019s important to check the eligibility criteria carefully. Many current accounts \u2013 particularly those that offer rewards \u2013 require a certain amount to be paid in each month or a set number of direct debits to be paid out of the account on a monthly basis. Be sure you can meet these criteria before applying.<\/p><h3>How to manage your multiple accounts<\/h3><p>If you want to have multiple bank accounts, it\u2019s crucial that you\u2019re organised. You will need to be able to keep track of your finances across the different accounts and understand what\u2019s being paid in or out at what point.<\/p><p>To give you a helping hand, it\u2019s worth setting up standing orders to ensure your money ends up where it should. Once your salary is paid into an account, for example, you might want to set up standing orders that direct money to your different accounts for different purposes.<\/p><p>There are also apps you can use that will aggregate all of your balances onto one screen so you can easily keep track of what\u2019s going where.<\/p><h3>Pros and cons of having more than one current account<\/h3><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--check-circle\">\n                                    <li>You can have different current accounts for different purposes.<\/li>\n                                    <li>You may be able to take advantage of different rewards and perks.<\/li>\n                                    <li>You\u2019ll always have access to funds in the event something goes wrong at one of your banks.<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--x-circle\">\n                                    <li>Multiple current accounts can be harder to manage.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Your <a data-trigger-introductory-modal=\"true\">credit score<\/a> could be affected if you open too many accounts at once.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Different account fees can be hard to keep on top of.<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>Holding multiple current accounts can provide a range of benefits, whether you\u2019re looking to get better at budgeting, take advantage of current account rewards or want a separate account for foreign transactions.
