How many joint tenants can there be on a checking account?

There is no limit to the number of joint signers you can have on a checking account. If you’d like to add a joint signer, you can do so through any of the following channels:

  1. Video Appointment: Members can book their appointment by clicking here (Hyperlink for the word here: https://firstentertainmentcreditunion.coconutcalendar.com/s/video) and selecting “Add/Update a Joint Owner” under Additional Account Services. Both the primary and joint being added must attend.
  2. Over the phone: Members can call in and request for a joint to be added to their membership. Please ensure that the form is signed by both parties, notarized, and then returned either via email or mail, along with copies of both parties’ current IDs.
  3. Message Center: Members can send a message through their online banking to request a joint being added to their membership. Please ensure that the form is signed by both parties, notarized, and then returned via Message Center, along with copies of both parties’ current IDs.
  4. In Branch:  Click here to Book an Appointment  to skip the line. Please be aware that both the primary member and the joint member being added must be present in person and provide their current IDs.

*NOTE: Only the primary member has the authority to start the process of adding a joint signer. Once the joint signer is added, they become part of the full membership, rather than being tied to a specific share.
