Hi everyone!!!

Does anyone have any recommendations for Joint bank accounts?

Are there any out there with any great benefits attached to them?

Are Joint accounts the same as a current account?

cheers

    As far as I am aware, Joint accounts are just any account that two or more people hold. So yes, current accounts can be joint accounts.

    A&L Primier and Premier Plus joint accounts come with free worldwide travel insurance for both account holders. You also can get £50 for opening an account.
    When opening two single accounts instead of one joint you can get £150 and (again) travel insuranse for both. However, it is more difficult to meet minimum monthly funding requirements for two acconts as compared to one joint account.
