Whats the...?

Question

whats the youngest age that you can start building your credit?

Answer 1

I believe legally it's 18, but some people have been acquiring credit at younger ages.

Answer 2

In my country - 13.

Answer 3

Depends on your country ... In the US and I think most countries you must be 18 to be legally held to a contract you sign - which is why no credit cards until 18... A lot of banks won't even issue a debit card until then.

Answer 4

I believe it`s 16, but not sure. BofA will let an 18 yr old open a checking account with a cosigner if unemployed.
