What is a joint bank account?
In most ways, a joint bank account is the same as having your own, except two people have control over the account. It's great for couples, trusted friends or family members, who want to share part of their banking.
Both people can pay in, make payments from the account. Both parties are also responsible for any arranged overdraft (subject to approval).
It'll give you a Contactless Debit Card each. You'll also be able to manage your joint bank account together using our Mobile Banking app, or via Anytime Banking.
Setting up a joint bank account online
