I opened my account with just ID and proof of address, no hassle at all. Took about 20 minutes in branch and card came a couple days later.

Always had seperate accounts from the day we moved in together, being a bit of a weirdo I always thought it removed the potential to cause trouble……just keeps clear boundaries about certain things and when you see the grief it can cause other people if the relationship gos boss eyed it sort of makes sense first few years.

My mrs has had access to my accounts whenever she wants, I don’t worry about that and was a second signatory on one of our business accounts once but always had my money & her money personally.

Another reason early was that I never thought it healthy for one person or the other to feel exploited which I always thought is a danger……again a weird quirk.

After 30 years now it’s all blurred anyway but we still retain our own accounts and she does her bits and I do mine……I don’t think there’s a correct way to do it, whatever works for your situation is fine in my book. 

I’m with you on this mate. Although Starmer introducing that £800 transfer freeze will be a nightmare

From October any transfer over £800, regardless of who it’s from, will be frozen for minimum of 24 hours.

I tell you. Your money ain’t your money

[Halfhound 267]

How will that work for people’s wages? Or is it only frozen on the first payment you make to somebody?

[WILF 50,303]

Just take it out in cash !

A run on the bank and they will soon stop all that sinister nonsense
