Hidden Bank Accounts?

If you are married/have a partner, do you keep a bank account they don't know about? I read somewhere earlier that something like 15% of millennial's do. This question however is open to people of any age bracket/generation. I can understand hiding a bank account from a significant other in some situations (like if they are abusive & you're saving up to get free of them) but in other situations, I don't really see the point.

I agree that it's not fair to the partner. My wife & I have a mutual bank account & our separate Paypals (which we both know of). I was addressing the topic in general is all.

Do you think you must hide your account?

Lol, no. I don't have a hidden one, nor would I. Did you actually read my post or just the title? Just curious.

I guess it's fine to have a personal bank account but not a secret account though.

Given that Trust is unquestioned, a secret can reassure individuality and may add surprise and excitement in a relationship.
