Hi, I'm looking at moving my savings from First Direct as their % is embarrassing to a Joint easy access savings account but every time I go searching I'm finding a majority are not for joint holders. I tried to open one at the Post office but what a nightmare that was so gave up.
Can anyone recommend an online bank that will accept a joint application with a good return, easy access and monthly interest?

    Best Easy Access Savings Accounts (moneyfactscompare.co.uk) reveals 74 products paying up to 4.35% with monthly interest.  If you use the filter on 'Full Search' you can specify joint accounts.

    Edit - for ease I would favour Marcus at 4%.

    The Post office is a nightmare for savings accounts full stop. So you picked a bad example !

    We get 3.7% with Monzo, not the best but we like the app features and I use as my primary bank account too.

    Also have a burner account that I move around for switching bonuses  :)

    Why a joint account ?.
    We keep saving separate for several reasons as well a bank accounts.
    One reason is the boss had bad credit until we got together and I helped her turn it around.
    Linked accounts will hurt both credit scores if something goes wrong.
    Two, tax reasons, I’m on a low income and can get 14k in interest tax free.
    She can only get 1k.
    Worth thinking about.
