Thanks for the prompt revert!
- So joint accounts are not eligible. I was suspecting the same but the AI reply on Google Search got my hopes high lol
- So you are suggesting that the joint account itself counts as one account and only one other account is required. I don't know though, logically, will they consider a joint account of A + B and then a second account of B without asking to have the name of B removed from the joint account of A + B.
- Got it. So those are running set of requirements and are evaluated actively instead of just at account opening so as long as a single criteria is fulfilled at some point it doesn't matter if other criteria are left out, even if it was a different criteria earlier and then a different fulfilment criteria now.
I suppose only way for me to now go about it is to go to a branch and pray to God that it happens despite the fact that I am not hoping/asking for anything against their rules etc. The timeline given July is only couple of weeks away makes it even more interesting. Well.
On a side note - while I am not married, I am thinking this offers the same/better level of protection to funds of family members like parents just as a joint account where parents are primary or first holders? This is the context of alimony as to how even family members money and properties get involved. Just asking incase anybody knows or has thought about it
