Getting to know ING joint bank account

What is a joint account?

A joint account is a bank account with two account owners. You can apply for joint Savings Maximiser, Savings Accelerator, Personal Term Deposit and Orange Everyday accounts with us.

Joint bank account features

Money-talk inevitably pops up in long-term relationships. It can be anything from who’s paying for tonight’s takeaway through to saving for that dream home. That’s where opening a joint bank account could come in handy. Joint savings accounts can be used by couples to pool some or all of their finances into one location to help manage household spending or saving.

Joint bank accounts give their owners better visibility over household finances and could help you both reach your savings goals together. There’s also a time saving if your household finds itself often transferring money between separate accounts.
