Best for a joint account?

Options
Hi all,

I currently have 2 current accounts - 1 with HBOS and 1 with Lloyds TSB.

My plan was join lloyds & pay off my HBOS overdraft and cancel it.

However, we are now thinking of getting a joint account for the bills.

Someone just suggested I can change my account to a joint one?

Any thoughts on which of these two banks is best for a joint account, or should we go elsewhere?

Thanks

    I would say that the best joint current account is the best current account i.e. I don't think there are any that are better for joint account holders than others (someone correct me if I'm wrong). What the best current account for you is depends on your situation really. A&L will match your do an account with 0% overdraft (for a limited time), same overdraft limit as your current bank. I have this account and am pleased with it, but like I say, it depends on your situation.
