What is a joint account?

Credit or rent matters, electricity or telephone bills, internet subscription, food shopping, expenses for children...To pay these charges (and others), many couples (married, PACS or in free union) choose to use a "common account".That is to say a attached deposit account, on which each of the two holders can carry out operations.The advantage of this solution is to clarify and facilitate the management of expenses between the two members of the couple.

5 tips for managing your money as a couple

Why open a joint account in an online bank?

Choosing an online bank for a joint account has many advantages.This type of establishments offers very limited fees for managing the common account.The 5 establishments present in the higher table allow us to obtain two bank cards for free (one for each co-holder of the account), to pay no account holding fees, to have lower overdraft, andto benefit most often from an absence of intervention commissions.

Some bank cards are issued free of charge without any conditions, others are however offered subject to justifying a certain level of income or savings (these conditions are mentioned in the table above).

Another advantage to open an joint account in an online bank rather than in a traditional establishment: if you are a new customer, the subscription sometimes allows you, depending on the online banks and the “promotions” of the moment, to obtain a bonuswelcome (which can climb up to 160 euros during certain commercial operations).

How to compare the online attached accounts?

To properly compare the offers of online banks in terms of the joint account, it is obviously necessary to go beyond the price (since this price is 0 euro in the 5 banks studied in the top of the top of the page)...First of all, you should determine the type of card you need.Do you want a standard card (Mastercard, Visa Classic) or a premium card (Gold Mastercard, Visa Premier)?Payment/withdrawal ceilings are higher with the second type of card, and more insurance/assistance.Do you prefer a balance control card (to avoid any overtaking)?Are you going to opt for an immediate speed or a delayed flow of your expenses by CB?Depending on the answers to these questions, you will direct yourself towards one or the other of the offers of online banks.

But it is also necessary that you return "in the nails" to be able to benefit from this or that card.Certain establishments set minimum monthly income conditions (without obligation to domicile them in the bank generally) or savings to hold on products in the establishment.In addition, it is sometimes also necessary to carry out x operations per month or quarter, or justify the credit flows over a certain period to be able to continue to benefit from the free card.

How to open a joint account?

The procedure for opening a joint account is similar to that of an individual account.Thus, you will be asked to provide (electronically):

The contract is signed remotely, electronically.For the opening of the account to be effective, you will also usually have to make an initial payment by transfer or by check.The amount of this payment is different depending on the establishments and according to the offer subscribed.

How does the joint account work?

The joint account is based on mutual confidence between the two cotturies.Everyone can indeed pay by bank card or check, make cash withdrawals, set up samples or proceed to transfers (punctual or permanent)...

The use of a joint account is not without danger.The money deposited is presumed to belong to the two holders and, in the event of a debt or payment incidents, the two holders are jointly responsible.This means that the banking establishment can turn against one or the other, even if it is not at the origin of the incident.In the worst case, in the event of a unpaid check for example, the two spouses risk a banking ban on all of their accounts, even personal, even domiciled in another bank.

Based on confidence, the joint account can turn into a problem nest if one of the “skids” co -ownership and makes sumptuous expenses against the interest of the couple or the family.In this case, it is possible to transform the joint account into an undivided account.All operations then require the authorization of the two holders (emissions of checks, withdrawal authorizations, etc.).This in fact excludes payment by bank card, which must be returned.

As a couple, should we make "account aside"?

What title for the joint account?

Par défaut, le compte joint sera ouvert sous l'intitulé « Monsieur ou Madame»» (ou « Monsieuror monsieur»» ; ou « Madameor madame»») et dans ce cas, chacun peut disposer des moyens de paiement sans avoir besoin de l'autorisation de l'autre pour chaque dépense.

A l'inverse, avec un compte « Monsieur et Madame»» (compte indivis), chacun des titulaires doit obtenir l'accord de l'autre pour réaliser un paiement.Thus checks must be signed by the two spouses.

Joint account: What to do in case of separation?

Before arriving at a serious payment incident or in the event of separation, several options are available to you, depending on the situation:

Couple money to the bank, who has what?

What becomes of the joint account in the event of death?

During one of the two cotturies of a joint account, it is necessary to refer to the account of account signed with the bank to know what becomes the "common" account.In general, no blockage of the account is provided (unless the heirs have initiated an approach in this direction) and the joint account becomes an individual account.Its holder keeps the same RIB and the same bank card.On the other hand, the CB of the deceased must be returned.The checkbook, issued in the name of "M.or Mrs. "(or" M.or m.»». ; ou « Mmeor mme»»), peut continuer à être utilisé.

Furthermore, as the service-public site specifies.fr, « en cas de solde positif au jour du décès, la question de la détermination et du sort de la part appartenant au défunt fait partie du règlement général de la succession»».The surviving spouse must therefore not then carry out extravagant expenses that the heirs could contest at the time of the succession (since these expenses would have come to grew the amount of the inheritance).

On the other hand, for an undivided account, in the event of the death of one of the cotturies, the bank immediately the account.No more operation can be made (credit or debit).

Closing of the account of a joint: how does it work?

First of all, know that the bank has the right to close your joint account without explanation.On the other hand, she must respect a 2 -month notice between the moment when she informs you and the moment when the fence is effective.

If you want to close the joint account, you must send a bank termination request.The request (sent by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt) must emanate from the two cotturies.For safety and to allow the latest operations to go well on the account (checks, non -modified samples, payments by CB), respect a notice period of at least 1 month and keep a sufficient provision on the account until the last moment.
