Here’s how to open a joint account:
1. Make an appointment
Schedule an appointment online, either in person at any branch or by video call. Specify the type of account you’d like to open in the Additional Details section. Add the name(s) of anyone accompanying you in the Additional Attendees section.
2. Prepare your documents
Ensure everyone at your appointment has the appropriate identification documents indicated in the appointment confirmation.
3. Choose your account
Receive your income directly into this account and carry out your daily transactions: purchases, withdrawals, deposits, bill payments, transfers between accounts, sending money, and more. This account provides each co-owner with a debit card.
Use your savings account to put money aside for a specific goal, like an upcoming vacation, or to ensure you have an emergency fund in case the unexpected happens, for example you lose your job. With this type of account, you'll earn interest on your savings and have easy access to your money.
Rights and obligations
During your appointment with your advisor, you can discuss the main rights and obligations of each joint account holder.
