A checking account is a type of bank account that allows you to deposit money, withdraw funds, and make payments using checks, debit cards, or online transfers. You can deposit money into your checking account from sources like your job or other income, and you can use the funds in the account to pay bills or make purchases. The bank keeps track of the money in your account and provides you with statements to show your transactions.

Can wife add her name to his checking account without his approval legally?
No she can't as a matter of fact without his written permission she can't even get general information about that account. This is what I found to be amazing, if this couple has a joint savings account, but the husband's name is the only one on the checking account, he is the only one that can legally transfer money from the savings account to the checking account. It also works this way if there is a joint checking account and money needs to be transferred from the joint checking account, to the savings account with only the husband's name on it, he is the only one that can move money from one account to the other. I am a bank manager and I know this is more information than you asked for, but when I have to explain this to couples, it often leads to a very heated discussion between them in my office. I live in Virginia and I can only answer for Virginia. I hope you found this answer helpful.
