Each co-owner is jointly and individually responsible for all balances on the co-owned Apple Card, including amounts due on your co-owner's account before the accounts are merged. Each co-owner will be reported to credit bureaus as an owner on the account. In addition, co-owners will have full visibility into all account activity and each co-owner is responsible for the other co-owner's instructions or requests. Credit reporting includes positive and negative payment history, credit utilization, and additional information. Card usage and payment history may impact each co-owner's credit score differently because each individual's credit history will include information that is unique to them. Addition of new co-owner or merging existing accounts is subject to credit approval and general eligibility requirements. Learn more about Apple Card eligibility requirements. Either co-owner can close the account at any time, which may have a negative credit impact. Both co-owners will still be responsible for paying all balances on the closed account.
