It is a joint account which requires the signatures of all joint account holders; is there a specific term in English?
"Cette dénonciation entraîne la transformation immédiate du compte joint en un *compte indivis*, compte collectif sans solidarité active, chaque opération, notamment la destination du solde devant donner lieu à une décision conjointe des cotitulaires."

joint signature account / joint signatory account
Both of these seem to be used for two people sharing an account. I would assume the same name applies if their are multiple people.

joint and several account
The GDT gives "joint and several account" for "compte indivis" along with the following Note: "Les titulaires du compte indivis sont liés solidairement et de façon indivisible et ne peuvent agir séparément pour disposer du compte. Ils ont cependant la faculté de se donner réciproquement des procurations."
Source: see first Reference, search for "compte indivis" [without parentheses]
Termium contains the following observation: "Par opposition au compte joint, le «compte indivis» fonctionne sur la signature conjointe de toutes les personnes au nom desquelles il est ouvert."
Source: see second Reference, record #86, OBS

These are Canadian sources, so the terminology is Canadian.

I meant to also say: A compte indivis is a particular kind of joint account; a single individual cannot withdraw money, etc. without a proxy from the other owners of the account.
