Additional card holder advice needed

Options
I want to get an additional credit card on my account for my daughter, I have tried Nat West who won't accept more than 1 additional card holder and Santander who won't accept her because she does not live at my address. Does anyone know of a credit card that does accept more than one additional card holders and one who doesn't live at main card holder's address?

Thanks

  • OP, bear in mind however that you are liable for any debt incurred by the additional cardholder.....

    Spend some time searching the banks' websites. For example...

    Yes...
    you asked us:

    Additional cardholders

    our answer is:

    Once your card has been opened you can have one additional cardholder on your account as long as they are over 18, a resident of the uk, the channel islands or the isle of man and free of any county court judgments (ccjs).
    Yes...
    adding your partner, a family member or friend to your account is a simple way to get more from your hsbc credit card.
    Maybe...
    the additional cardholder must be:

    primarily resident at your current address - for example, your son/daughter/dependant may be away at university, but their financial accounts remains at your address
    No...
    Any additional cardholder must reside at the same primary address, and have a relationship of close family member (defined as: Spouse, parent, sibling or domestic partner).

    How would any bank know if you were living somewhere or not if it was delivered to mum's house?

    Maybe they are not on the electoral roll?
