How do I add an authorized user to my credit card?

To add an authorized user, the request needs to come from an account owner. Up to seven authorized users can be on the account at the same time. Authorized users must be at least 13 years of age. All that's needed to add them is their first and last name, date of birth, and Social Security number. Adding a middle initial is optional.

If you'd like to complete the process by phone or have any questions, please call us at the number on the back of your card or 800-285-8585. We accept relay calls.

To add an authorized user through digital banking, follow the steps below.
