Can I remove someone from a Biscuit joint bank account or take my name off it?

You can't remove a person from a joint account or take your own name off it. Instead, the joint account will need to be closed. After that, each of you can keep using your own Biscuit bank account. You can also open a new joint account in the future with someone else if you like.
Can I remove the other person without their agreement?
No. You can't remove the other account holder from the account.
Can I change a joint account to a personal account?
No. A joint account can't be changed into a personal account. You can use your own Biscuit bank account instead.
Can one of us close the joint account?
Yes. Either account holder can close the account. They don’t need approval from the other person.
For more information, see How do I close my bank account and what happens to my money?
What happens to the money and our cards when we close our Biscuit joint back account?
You'll need to move the balance out of the Biscuit joint bank account before it can close, and the cards linked to the account will be cancelled. Your personal Biscuit bank accounts aren't affected.
As you've been financially linked to the other person, that link stays on your credit file after the account closes unless you ask to remove it. See Does a joint account affect my credit score?
