Parent and Young Adult Co-Borrowers
Are you a parent with a young adult in your life ready to build their credit?
Bay Federal allows co-borrowers with no credit history to be eligible applicants! This is a great way to help your family build credit, teach them about responsible borrowing and spending habits, and support purchases while they are traveling or away at college.
To get started, simply apply for a Bay Federal Visa Credit Card and list the young adult (must be 18 years or older) as the co-applicant. It's that easy!
*Visa's Zero Liability policy does not apply to certain commercial card and anonymous prepaid card transactions or transactions not processed by Visa. Cardholders must use care in protecting their card and notify Bay Federal Credit Union immediately of any unauthorized use.
