Can a joint Edge Current Account be opened online easily, like opening a solo account?

We had a joint 123 account already so there was no problem opening a joint Edge Current account.

did you "upgrade" the 123 to Edge or open a new Edge joint?

to add....i have just changed our really old joint Abbey account to an Edge and we now have the additional 2 edge savers between us .

From my workings out, it was better off us keeping the 123 lite, as we earned more from the cash back (minus fee) on that, then we would earning 1% from the edge. Plus we also get cash back on 123 credit card on fuel and supermarket too, 

still opened Solo and joint edge accounts though, and will fund the 7% saver account on the 1st. Our plan is to not use the edge current accounts at all, so hopefully won’t get charged the monthly fee.

Ditto...

Our 123 lite gives better cashback so will be kept.

2 x sole Edge current a/cs & a joint one opened yesterday along with 4 x 7% savers. No DDs will be set up so no cashback and therefore no £3 monthly fees. £16K deposited via the current a/cs into the 7% savers. All according to the t's & c's - it's not a condition of the Edge current a/c that you need to qualify for cashback.

We opened a new Edge and kept the 123 as well
