Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about our tradeline service.

The basics

What tradelines are and how they work.

A tradeline is any account that appears on your credit report. When you’re added as an authorized user on someone else’s credit card, that card’s payment history may appear on your report and could help establish or build your credit profile.

An authorized user is someone added to an existing credit card account. You don’t receive or use the card — but the account’s history may appear on your credit report.

Being added as an authorized user on a credit card account is a long-standing practice that banks allow. If you have questions about your specific situation, your representative is happy to talk it through.
