Let’s take a closer look

  • Yes, you can open a joint savings account with another person, regardless of your marital status. You could open a joint account with a partner, family member or even a friend.

    Because both account holders have full access to the account, the most important thing is that you trust the person you’re opening a joint savings account with.

  • A joint savings account could suit many situations and people, including:

    • Couples with a shared goal, such as buying a house or getting married.
    • Children who are supporting elderly parents with financial matters.
    • Parents who want to support a child and monitor their activities.

    Just be aware that both account holders will be authorised to pay in and withdraw money from the account. It’s important that you trust the person you open a joint savings account with.

  • AER

    As well as making it easier to compare accounts, the Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) helps you to understand how much interest you could earn from your savings in a year.

    AER includes the effect of compound interest – essentially the interest you earn on top of any interest that’s already part of your savings balance.

    Tax free

    You don’t usually need to pay tax on interest earned on:

    • ISAs
    • Kids accounts

    Adults can earn a certain amount of tax-free interest on their savings each year, depending on your:

    Gross

    This is the percentage of interest you’ll earn on savings, pre-tax. Halifax won’t take away any tax due, so you’ll need to declare and pay anything you owe to HM Revenue and Customs.
