How to open a joint current account for adults

You can share a joint account with one other person. Both account holders need to come to a post office with proof of identity to open the account.

You'll share the same account number (IBAN) but will have your own unique current account card, user ID, online PIN and 16-digit card number. For security reasons, each account holder must have their own email address. Account holders can have the same or different home addresses.
