No. The bank is not responsible or liable if such an incident happens. A joint account is one that can be fully operated by either of the two people who hold a joint account. So if one party withdraws cash or makes a funds transfer, it is assumed that the other party has no objections towards it. So the bank wouldn't be liable if one party does it against the wish of the other party who holds the account jointly.

Whether or not a bank can be held responsible in this case would depend on the specific terms and conditions of the account agreement. If the bank followed the agreed-upon procedures and requirements for transferring funds, they may not be held responsible. However, if there were any violations or negligence on the bank's part, they could potentially be held accountable. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional to assess the specific circumstances.
