A: No limit but if it looks like you have a vast number, you may get flagged for an inquiry if there's enough for them to suspect money laundering or the beginning of a check kiting scheme.

A: I agree with my colleagues regarding the number of accounts. However, if this is related to filing bankruptcy, more information is needed. Generally, the number of accounts are not an issue - it is the total balance in all of the accounts that must be disclosed if filing bankruptcy and if the funds can be properly claimed exempt. If there is something more specific information you are seeking - supplement and re-submit your question or seek advice from an attorney.
