Yikes. Let’s see…

Current Accounts:

  • Monzo - main one for spending though I have just switched
  • First Direct - my main legacy account, salary comes in here and direct debits go out.
  • 2nd First Direct - for where my work expenses gets paid (to isolate this from my budget…)
  • TSB - formerly for it’s interest but no longer used.
  • Transferwise - never used.
  • Starling - used but now stopped.
  • Revolut - used for a couple of trips abroad but didn’t get on with it.
  • Barclays Bpay - used to use it before mobile pay was common.
  • Curve (if it counts) - to try and consolidate some of the above. Probably won’t use…

Credit Cards:

  • AMEX Cashback - my main credit card.
  • First Direct - my main non-AMEX card.
  • 2nd First Direct - for work expenses (as above).
  • Virgin Money- carrying some debt.
  • Barclaycard - first credit card account I had, should probably close it.
  • TSB - for a balance transfer offer
  • Halifax - for a balance transfer offer.

Yikes.

At the moment three

Monzo
Lloyds Debit
Lloyds Credit

I only keep Debit as I don’t feel comfortable with full switch to Mozno just yet but I don’t use it. Just keep my savings in LLoyds that give me few % a year.

Credit card is for emergencies, I had to use it maybe twice in the last 2 years

32

No, that is what Curve is for!

Not everywhere takes Apple Pay. My local ASDA & B&Q don’t, with the latter not even taking contactless.
I’d love to ditch the wallet but until the local pub accepts Apple Pay then it’s difficult.

4 Debit cards (Monzo and 3 traditional banks)
3 Credit cards (all traditional banks)
2 other (Curve, Revolut)

I only carry Monzo, a Visa credit card, and Curve

38

I use a Nomatic wallet.
Only carry 3. (not include Oyster, work fob pass etc). Those 3 could be one with Curve, but nice to have backups.

39

I have 4…

1 x Monzo
1 x HSBC (My wages go in here, so I can take advantage of 5% interest savings)
1 x Santander (Joint Account with my wife)
1 x Revolut (for holiday spending)

No!

9 are in my Apple wallet, a couple only used for traveling or business expenses, some pretty dormant, just opened for the kickback.

If curve had AMEX then I’d have them all on there.

My local B&Q which was only built 3 years ago only has chip and pin too… It’s as if they are deliberatly wanting queues at the checkouts
