Can you transfer money from a joint account to a single account?
You may transfer funds from a joint account to a single account in this manner when both accounts are with the same bank. Otherwise, you may write a check from your joint account to deposit to a single account at another bank. When visiting a branch in person, tell the bank teller you want to make a transfer.
What is the difference between a primary account holder and a secondary account holder?
The person who makes the initial application to open an account or to apply for credit is referred to as the primary account holder. These people are known as secondary account holders and, in the case of credit cards, authorized users are also called additional cardholders.
Can a bank freeze a joint account if one person dies?
When a person dies, their financial assets (including bank accounts) are automatically frozen. As joint accounts are outside the will, the surviving account holder has immediate access to the funds.
