Can you show me some options for setting up a shared bank account over the internet?
I need to open a joint bank account online, who offers that?
| ✅ Yes |
| $0 |
| Best if you want online banking + some branches |
| SoFi | ✅ Yes | $0 | Checking + high-yield savings together |
| Chase | Joint accounts available, but typically branch involvement | Varies | Best branch/ATM network |
| Wells Fargo | ✅ Joint accounts | Varies | Traditional bank + branches |
| Bank of America | Joint accounts available | Varies | Traditional banking + branches |
1. Ally — easiest fully-online choice.
Ally explicitly allows you to select a joint account during the online application and can have multiple owners. Its Spending Account currently has no monthly maintenance fee and no minimum opening deposit.
2. Capital One 360 Checking — excellent if you want online + occasional physical banking.
Capital One says you can add a joint account holder to 360 Checking, and the account has no monthly service charge or minimum balance requirement.
3. SoFi — worth considering if you're primarily trying to combine checking and savings.
Bankrate currently lists SoFi among its top joint checking choices, particularly for couples who want checking and savings together.
One important point: a joint account means both owners generally have full access to the money. For example, Capital One's agreement says either joint owner can withdraw, transfer funds, or close the account without the other owner's consent.
If you tell me (1) whether this is for checking, savings, or both, (2) whether you need physical branches, and (3) roughly how much you'll keep in it, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 accounts for you, including current APYs, fees, ATM access, and signup bonuses.
Several top-rated online banks and digital-first financial institutions allow you to easily open a joint checking or savings account entirely online, without needing to visit a physical branch.
Here are the best online options available:
To help narrow down which of these is the best fit for you, tell me:
