Why a joint bank account may be best for you?
A joint bank account is simply a type of account that gives equal access to two people, making both parties responsible for the account.
It’s much like having your own, the only difference is that you can both control what happens. This includes making payments, setting up Direct Debits and using any arranged overdraft.
Joint accounts are commonly used to manage shared household bills. This might be with a housemate or a partner. These accounts are useful for outgoings such as:
- Mortgage
- Rent
- Groceries
- Utility bills
When you have a joint current account you’ll both get a contactless debit card. You can also manage your joint account using the mobile banking app or via Online Banking.
