Joint account suggestions

Hey guys, we've decided to go for a joint account, to pay bills basically. We considered 123, (or the light variant) but the cashback would be miniscule once the fee is factored in.
As we don't want any packaged sfuff and don't intend to keep a large balance on guessing we should just choose a reliable bank with a decent app?
I use a few banks at the moment and find Barclays to work well, however, I don't do too much on it.
So yeah, suggestions for a join account with a really decent app for managing and viewing payments etc would be great!

Best app in my opinion is starling.Personally I’d go for a bank different to your main current accounts just in case the systems of one goes down.0

Interesting, I have Starling but I've not really used it! My main bank is actually NatWest, so Barclays would still be a contender0

What's wrong with opening a joint account with one of the banks you use now? One of them must have a decent app.
Suggest First Direct if that fails, has done everything we needed it to do, we've held a joint account for years with them and our main bills (utilities) get paid from there.0 -
Nothing really, just always on the lookout to see if I can get something better really!0
