Comments

some students might find this new credit card as a bad news because it would be harder for them to acquire a student credit card without a co-signer or independent proof of income.
As noted, this is not a change to our policy. Students have always needed proof of income or a co-signer. An alternative once the student saves up some money would be a Share Secured card.
