You can switch from another provider or open a new account with Yorkshire Bank - either way, the process is straightforward. No matter which way you do it, we aim to make the move as smooth as possible for you and we'll guide you through it.
Opening a Yorkshire Bank current account with someone else is straightforward. We will guide you through each stage and you will be able to choose from any of our current accounts. However, both people who wish to open the account have to complete the application. If you are an existing current account holder who wishes to change to a joint account, you can speak to us about arranging this.
Once the account is open, each person will get a debit card and the option of a cheque book. Each of you can make withdrawals, write cheques, apply for an arranged overdraft or use cash machines without needing the approval of the other.
