ATM withdrawal limit

I have a question to which I can't find an obvious answer. The wife and me have a joint Barclays current account. Both of our debit cards are set to the maximum £500 per day withdrawal limit. What I can't find is whether we could both withdraw £500 per day or, if one of us has already withdrawn that amount, the other would be unable to withdraw anything.
I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.

    I don't know about Barclays but I DO know that with NatWest the daily withdrawal limit is per account, not per account holder.

  • Also cash machines are limiting withdrawals, I have FD account and £500 limit.
    Tesco and 3 banks only allowed max £300.
    Put card in twice and worked, but should be £500 in one go.
    For your issue I wold try and take money out on both cards on the same day.
    If you ring Barclays they may not know.

    ATM's can have their own limits set. Also if get low on cash. Can decline anyone but banks own customers.

    As a aside, you can talk to you bank & get the daily limit increased for a short period if you require more than you given daily limit.
