CAN MY SPOUSE OR PARTNER OPEN AN ACCOUNT, OR BE A JOINT OWNER OF MY ACCOUNT?

7. CAN MY SPOUSE OR PARTNER OPEN AN ACCOUNT, OR BE A JOINT OWNER OF MY ACCOUNT?

Answer

US Citizen Spouse: Yes, you may add your US Citizen spouse as a joint applicant during the account application. 

Non-US Citizen Spouse: A non-US citizen spouse can be a joint owner but cannot hold their own account. They must be added to an account after it is opened, not at the time of account opening.
