Five Minute Finance

Boost Teenager Credit Score


Listen Later

Join Matt Robison and Mike Morton this week as they teach you how to help boost your teenager's credit score. Learn the proactive steps you can take early on, such as adding your child as an authorized user on a credit card. This allows teens to start building credit history without the responsibility of managing payments themselves, and you remain in control of the account.

It’s important to educate teens about responsible credit card use, such as keeping balances low and paying off the card monthly. Alternatives for older teens and young adults include co-signing loans or credit cards, student or starter credit cards, and secured credit cards for those just beginning to establish credit. These steps can help lay a solid financial foundation and save significant money in the long run.
