Recommendations for a Shared/Joint account

Morning,
I am looking at opening a joint or shared account with the OH for budgetting purposes - i.e. a set amount of money put into this each month which is money that we know we can spend to remain in budget.
Does anyone have any recommendations for anything which is easy to open (if such a thing exists), for example the Atom bank account I recently opened was fantastic, took all of a few mins.
Regards.

Starling was the easiest to open but you'll both need individual accounts with them first1
