Opening or closing an account

To open a personal savings account with Aldermore you simply need to be aged 18 years or over, resident in the UK and only tax resident in the UK. Our accounts cannot be held in trust or by US Persons (meaning US citizens, residents, green card holders or taxpayers in respect of their worldwide income).

Opening an account is easy. All you'll need is the sort code and account number of your personal UK bank or building society account. Once you've read the product information and our Terms and Conditions, click on 'Open account' and you'll be ready to go.

Can I have more than one account?

You can open as many accounts as you like, subject to the usual terms and conditions. Many people choose to open different accounts for different purposes, to help organise their finances and make planning ahead easier. 

How does a joint account work?

You can have up to two account holders per account. We assume that you both have equal share of the money in the account and you are both jointly liable for the account. We will usually act on a sole instruction from either of you unless you advise us of a dispute on the account. To advise us of a dispute on the account, please write to us. In this case you will need to operate the account by post and include the signatures of both account holders until such time as you notify us otherwise.
