<p>The Federal law doesn’t provide any restrictions about issuing credit
cards to minors. In fact, credit card companies consider teen-agers as
a very profitable market. Most credit card companies often require a
co-signer when a minor applies for a credit card. When a teen-ager
reaches the age of 18, he has the right to sign-up for a credit card on
his name even without a cosigner.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Are Student Credit Cards an Advantage?</strong><br>
Some parents feel that providing their kids with credit cards while
they are still in high school help them learn about money early in
life. With proper guidance and support, obtaining a student credit card
can help young people learn about how to handle their finances properly.</p><p> </p><p>A student credit card is a great way in establishing a credit
history in preparation for their future. Some credit card companies
refuse to grant credit card approval for those without a credit
history. But with the help of a parent as a co-signer, it will be much
easier to get a credit card.</p><p> </p><p>
