Savings account with dual authorisation to withdraw

Hi
I'm looking for an account which requires dual authorisation to make a withdrawl. Ideally opened and managed online and benefiting from some interest earned. It's a short term account between the two account holders. The only one I'm aware of (used before) is Secure Trust Access Account, but that's limited to £85k total for the account and we want to put in more but still kept below the £170k FSCS for joint accounts. Of all the joint accounts opened over the years I've never had one requiring dual authorisation for a withdrawl. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I have come across accounts where two signatures are required but they could not be operated on line.
By way of example, a friend of mine operates an account with his brother - either they must both appear in branch to make a withdrawal or one signs a cheque and sends/gives it to the other for signature.
Building societies offer accounts where two signatures are required.

There are two options for how the account is set up: 1. Both signatures – this means that for any withdrawal or on closure of the account, both of you will be required to sign the forms. 2. Either signature – this means that for any withdrawal or on closure of the account only one signature is required. You should only open a joint account if you and the other account holder understand the commitments you are entering into. ISA accounts can only be opened in sole name.

Thanks xylophone, I'll look at branch based accounts. That'll be a novelty going in to a branch.
