Joint account for people living in different houses?

My OH and I want to save money for our future but we are living in different houses. Is there anyway we can get a joint account to put our savings into?

Thanks!

    Move in together...? ;)

    Or, open up seperate accounts...

    Joint accounts are the worst idea in the world anyway.

    You should be able to get a joint account with the two of you at different addresses. Have you asked any banks?

    natmour, you should have no problem. My brother and I have several joint bank and savings accounts and we live at different addresses.
