How Do I Add an Authorized User to My Citicard Account?
If you have a CitiCard account and you have decided to add one or more other people to that account as authorized users, you can do so quickly and easily. You simply need to fill out a short online form. Citibank has no rules governing who you can add as an authorized user. There is no cost involved.
You can sometimes help friends and family members build their credit by adding them to your credit card account, as on time payments will be recorded on their credit reports. If you have a CitiCard account and want to authorize other people to use it, find out how to do so below.
Authorized Users
You can add anyone you like to your CitiCard account, even children. This can be a good way to introduce them to the world of credit. However, you are the person who is ultimately responsible for your account, not your authorized users. You should therefore be mindful of whom you authorize, especially when it comes to children. If an authorized user makes excessive charges or incurs fees, you are the one who is responsible for paying them. Please note that you cannot set a lower credit limit for your authorized users. Whatever credit limit your card has is the credit limit that will be available to your authorized users.
Adding an Authorized User to Your CitiCard Account
Go to the Citibank home page, and sign into your account. Click on the Services tab in the navigation bar at the top of the page. A drop down menu will appear. Select Credit Card Services from the menu. You will be taken to the Credit Card Services page. Click on Authorized Users. You will be taken to the Manage Authorized Users page. Click on Add Authorized User. Enter the required information in the text fields provided, such as your name, social security number and phone number. There is no fee to add an authorized user. You are permitted to add up to 10 total authorized users per CitiCard account.
Contacting Citibank
You can contact a Citibank representative by calling, using the chat option or posting on the Citibank help forum.
