Joint Account, Only One Customer Present

If a customer opens a joint account and one owner signs the sisnature card and the other is coming in at a later time, is this account considered a single ownership until the second owner signs the signature card?


This is still a single account. For FDIC insurance purposes, there is no signature for a co-owner and that person has not agreed to the terms of the agreement yet. They can't be obligated to the terms until this happens.
