The Joint Account Agreement serves as a fundamental legal document in Nigerian banking operations, designed to facilitate the shared management of financial resources between multiple account holders. This agreement becomes necessary when two or more individuals or entities wish to maintain a common bank account, whether for personal, business, or organizational purposes. It is structured to comply with Nigerian banking regulations, including the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act (BOFIA) 2020 and Central Bank of Nigeria guidelines, while addressing practical aspects such as account operation, liability allocation, and succession rights. The document is particularly relevant in scenarios involving family accounts, business partnerships, or organizational funds management, providing clear guidelines for account operation and dispute resolution while protecting the interests of all parties involved.
