Both people can and that's why it's called a 'joint account.' If you have one with a live-in boyfriend or your husband than both of you would have access.

What is a joint savings account?
A Joint Savings Account is when two people have joint access to the savings account. If a Wife and Husband, Boyfriend and girlfriend, parents and child open a Joint Account then "either" one of them can access ALL the money in the account. If one of them is involved in an illegal activity the Police can freeze the WHOLE account and "can" take ALL the money. It would be up to you to prove the money didn't come from the illegal activity. (Actually they would freeze separate accounts in the same household also) Good and bad parts are you both can access the money as needed, but the other person can "empty" the account with out your say so.
