joint account
Couples' bank setup
A joint account is a bank account shared by two or more people, each with equal access to deposit and withdraw funds.
Married couples commonly maintain joint accounts for household expenses: We put both paychecks into the joint account.
Joint accounts simplify shared finances but create mutual liability—each holder is responsible for the account's activity.
