Couples in the UK are being urged to pool their resources and open a joint account to make the most of their money and avoid debt.
Lloyds say that couples that don't have joint accounts, give reasons such as they don't trust their partners with spending and they want to keep how much they earn and spend a secret.
90% of couples who have joint accounts say that it helps them manage their finances better and pay bills more efficiently, avoiding unwanted debts.
