Type of bank account to pay in rent

Hi,

Just after opinions/recommendations. I am a new landlord and want to set up a separate bank account to manage rental payments/outgoings etc.
What does everyone currently use - a regualr bank account or a savings account with unlimited withdrawals etc?

Thanks in advance.

My wife has a Santander current account that pays a reasonable amount of interest (relatively speaking!) on balances up to twenty grand, as long as we pay in a minimum amount every month and have a few direct debits set up. It only makes buttons a year but it's a handy place to park the first-line emergency fund. As Hippogriff says, though, you don't particularly need a separate bank account: it's perfectly safe to chuck it in a mixed wash.
