Joint Saving Acc

Hi

I would like to start saving for my wedding, we have 2k so far and would like to invest it into a joint saving account that we can add to (do not need to withdraw for a few years).

What whould you suggest would be the best joint saving account we could open? I have looked at the A+L ISA but they won't do it in joint names....

Any advice would be great!

    My cousin opened a joint savings account with his fiance to save for the wedding. She blew the lot without telling him £4k. Needless to say he married someone else.:eek:

    It's not just that A&L won't do ISA in joint names - they can't, as ISas are only available to individuals.

    So cut out ISAs from joint account search to narrow the field.
