Ah right. Thought that was a bit long for the bank to take on its own

Love how the banking system works, at least at HSBC anyway! They told me my wife would need a Passport account which had a monthly fee if she opened an account on her own due to her previous address being abroad and she was new to the island. But apparently, by converting my account to a joint one, the system apparently didn't care she was new to the country. Guess it does away with a bunch of checks if the account already exists! Not going to complain
