I have a joint account at Rabodirect with my wife and am wondering if I or she can open another account seperately ....and if so do you have to go through the whole application process again?

Anyone tried this?
 
Once any financial institution has your ID documentation you should be able to open new accounts without much hassle.
 
Clubman is correct. You will need to complete an online registration application for a sole account [broken link removed]

Please complete the account opening wizard as normal including the anti-money laundering questions. When you print off your application form please note on the form that you already have a joint account and if you include your customer number from the joint account this will speed up processing. You will not be required to provide the proof of identity and address documents again.

Does that mean you can have €30,000 on deposit with Rabo earning 5% interest-a joint a/c and two individual a/c's?
 
Thanks rabodirect for the prompt reply
How about if I want to open an account for my son who is 7 yrs of age?

I think it is based on a recollection of a previous thread on this issue. Or that could be with NR or one of the high rate regular saver accounts ...

Just to be clear on this scenario: John and Joan Bloggs open a joint account and receive 5% on €10,000. John Bloggs then opens an individual account with €10,000 @ 5.0%. Joan Bloggs opens an individual accounts with €10,000 at 5.0%. This is possible as the accounts are all separate.

Individual accounts - each customer can open 3 savings accounts under one subscription/customer number. However, if your aggregate balance exceeds €10,000 across the 3 accounts you will earn 5.0% on the combined balance and 3.75% thereafter. Rates are variable.

States this is possible. Go to [broken link removed] and complete the online application form for a minor account. You will need to send us a clear photocopy of your son's birth cert plus the usual proof of identity and address for yourself. If you are already a RaboDirect customer you don't need to give us the proof of address and identity, just the photocopy of the birth cert. It is also possible to nominate your son's minor account to receive Child Benefit - you just need to provide the Department of Social & Family Affairs the RaboDirect sort code and account number.

Currently I have 20k in a single account. As a single person, can I open a second account, move 10k into it, and get 5% on each of the 10k balances in both accounts ?

Not according to what RaboDirect posted above.
 
I am amazed anyone can open a Rabo account after numerous correspondent with them and as my tax system as self employed was not exactly what they requested they could not process my application. I have changed their name to Robot direct as I am convinced it is just Robots at the end of the line!!! I have opened a few other accounts with their Competitors and had no problems - I have to wonder at the caliber of person they have working for them!!
 
I've opened two accounts with them no problem. What do you mean by "my tax system as self employed was not exactly what they requested"?
 
I was employed by company outside this state but payed my own tax so tax form was they requested was not what most people would supply they couldn't seem to cope with this and talking on phone with them was the most frustrating experience as I felt i was talking to monkey grinder and couldn't get to talk to the monkey!!! or is it the other way round - so I'll just use Robot.
 
Are these accs (5%) similar (or are they) to a current acc in that I can have my 10k in it and have DDs setup to come out of it and into it?

We do not operate current accounts with ATM cards, cheque books etc. The RaboDirect Savings Account does not faciliate outward Direct Debits.
Please see our FAQ's [broken link removed] for more information.
