Bank accounts for more than 2 people

Eliza_ST

Hubby, daughter & I want a joint account for the 3 of us, as we're buying a house together. Which bank(s) will let us do that?

Besides creating problems, what can such account do that a single account cannot?

Reportedly, Natwest allow this: 3-person joint account for shared house?

Most bank accounts can be opened with more than two names on them. TSB is a good example:

Of course your usual bank might give you a different answer if you ask someone else.

Very few banks will offer joint accounts for more than 2 people as their systems will not be able to support more than 2 account holders.

Citibank used to allow up to 4 people a few years ago. I don't know whether they still do, and whether it is because they are an american bank.
