Students can apply for a credit card. As long as they are over 18 years old, they can go to any bank to apply for a card. There are also many banks that have launched exclusive credit cards for the student group, such as Bank of Communications' Y-POWER credit card campus version, China Merchants Bank's YOUNG card campus version, China Construction Bank's Dragon Card JOY credit card student version, etc.
The application conditions for student credit cards are also relatively simple, as long as you meet the age limit and have no serious bad credit information. Of course, everyone needs to note that the limit of a student credit card may not be very high. Many people apply for a limit of only tens or hundreds of yuan, or even zero. They must first save money before spending, and accumulate good use. Only after the card is recorded can the bank raise the limit.
If the student’s parents have a credit card, they can also directly apply for a supplementary card for their parents’ credit card to use. The application conditions for supplementary cards are not as strict as those for the main card. Generally, if you are over 13 or 14 years old and are a direct relative of the main cardholder, you can apply. Moreover, the supplementary card bill is also included in the main card bill, and the main cardholder is responsible for the repayment.
