Looking for a joint bank account just for saving with a cash card

Hi we have just got married and need to pay some cheques into a joint account we got as a wedding present. We are both keeping our own bank accounts but would like a new one for saving that comes with a cash card.

Any suggestions

Thank you.

    You can open a joint account with any bank and will receive an atm card.
    Once you have paid in the cheques you could open the Yorkshire BS internet saver on a joint basis - this has Link atm card.

    Try Santander 123 account.
    You will get cash back on utilities like Councilo Tax, water, telephone and sky TV. You also get interest if you have more than £1000.

    If you are both keeping your own bank accounts why not set up direct debits into this account for the same amount and blow any "profits" on holidays?

    Why not just open something like the YBS saver already mentioned?

    You should both get a cash card with it provided you select that option during the application.

    For something like this that will only be occasionally used for cheques etc it seems pointless to open the 123 account as it has a fee attached.
