Joint bank account key info

Find other important info about joint bank accounts in our Help section.

You’re financially linked to whoever you open the joint bank account with

When you open a Monzo joint bank account with someone, you become linked to them financially. That means you can be jointly credit-scored, and their credit history can have an impact on yours.

Overdrafts are only available for personal accounts

You can have an overdraft in your personal account but not your joint bank account.

You need photo ID and a personal account to open a joint bank account

We accept passports, driving licenses (provisionals are fine), national ID cards and biometric resident permits. You also need to be at least 18 years of age and live in the UK full time.

You’re joint owners of whatever’s in your joint bank account

Even if one of you contributes a lot more money, legally anything in the account is split equally. It’s important you trust who you’re planning to open a joint bank account with.

You can close your joint bank account in the app

First, you or the person you share your account with need to withdraw all the money from your joint bank account. After that you’re free to go ahead and close the account from in the Monzo app.
