Joint bank accounts
Opening a joint bank account
Most of our current accounts – including our Premier Banking accounts – are available as a joint account. You can apply online or in branch, whether you already hold an account with us or if this is your first Barclays account.
If you're applying in branch, you'll need to bring 2 forms of ID and be over 18 and a UK resident with a regular income or salary to be paid into the account.

If you're moving from another UK bank, it'll also help if you can bring along statements from the last 3 months – we'll look to match any existing facilities such as overdraft limits.
Do I need a sole Barclays current account first?
No. Neither you nor the person with whom you're opening the account needs to be an existing Barclays customer.
What happens next?
If your application is successful, we'll open your account and give you the sort code and account number immediately.
If you have any questions, give us a call on 08457 555 555 1 or come into a branch.
You may need to register for some of the benefits included as part of your account, but your welcome pack will include all the information you need to do this.
