    You can open individual accounts with your current bank and then switch them.

    Halifax will provided neither of you have had the incentive in your sole name previously.

    I would do as ValiantSon suggests and open sole accounts to switch, with your existing provider or a new one. You can then both get a given incentive rather than having one incentive to share.

    One of you could then also recommend the other to Nationwide under their offer for £100 each.

    The MSE guide to the best bank accounts to switch to may be of interest: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/compare-best-bank-accounts#bonus
