Best Bank for Joint Accounts

Me and my partner want to set up a joint current account purely so all the bills are coming out of one account. There won't be any more than £900 a month going into it and it will not be used for anything else. We will still have our own current accounts for the rest of our money.

Is there a better bank to go with or are they all pretty much the same for this kind of thing?

    They're all pretty much the same.

    It would make sense to use a bank that (at least) one of you uses now.

    If you're not already financially associated, are you aware that this new account will link your financial records at the CRAs? The result will be that if one of you has a poor credit history they will pull the other down!

    Thanks!
    Well we are both fine with credit history, so I suppose it's just a case of choosing one or the other on the new account.

    Cheers!
