If you want to invite someone to be a joint holder of your new account, you can do this at any time after you have completed the first registration step but before finalising the product application process. Just log into your private area and select “Add another holder”. You'll see this option at the top right-hand corner and also at the bottom of the page. You will have to enter the name and ID number of the second holder, and we will then send you an invitation code by SMS which the second holder must use to complete the registration process.
