For couple-first features — zero balance, ~60-second online opening, matching RuPay cards and shared expense tracking, open to married, dating and same-sex couples — Coupl is the strongest choice. For an insured, interest-bearing bank account, IDFC FIRST is the best traditional option for married couples, followed by SBI, HDFC and Kotak. Note: Coupl is a PPI, so balances are not DICGC-insured and do not earn interest; many couples use Coupl for shared spending and a bank account for salary/savings.

Coupl opens a zero-balance joint account entirely in-app in ~60 seconds: each partner does Aadhaar + PAN KYC from their own phone (they don't need to be in the same place), and both receive matching RuPay cards without visiting a branch. Most traditional banks (SBI, HDFC, Kotak) still require both holders to visit a branch in person for joint-account KYC.
