Paying in to a joint account

katies_mum

Please can anyone tell me if cheques have to be in both names to pay them into a joint account or if they can be in either name on the account. Many thanks

Either name is fine.

Thank you, just had a slight panic that a cheque would need to be in joint names.

Either can withdraw & Either can be paid in

Not necessarily.

Some banks and building societies operate accounts on a "both to sign" basis.
