Card Ownership
When you apply for a credit card, you choose the kind of credit you want:
  • Individual credit is based on your assets, income and credit history only. You alone are responsible for paying the bills.
  • Joint credit is based on the assets, income, and credit history of both people who apply. Married couples often apply for joint credit. You may obtain more credit this way, but you'll be responsible for the debt- even if you get divorced.
  • An authorized user is an additional person to whom you give permission to use your account. However, you (and your joint account holder, if any) are solely responsible.
