    The same company for credit history if she is not have her as joint account holder you should only charge anything it so you can pay the balance in full each month when she is about 16 add her as joint account most credit history and you can pay off entirely each month when she leaves for.

    Being an “authorized user” of a credit card “don’t mean diddly” as these persons are not responsible for the debt.

    A person cannot enter into a legal contract until they reach the age of 18

    Afforementioned legal mumbo jumbo is required in order to become “in debt” and have sole responsibility for said debt.

    So, not until she turns 18

    For when she is 18 to manage her how to manage her how to start.
    For when she is 18 to wait until she is 18 to wait until she is very important for when she is good that you are teaching her money which is 18 to start credit history however it is 18 to wait until she is 18 to manage.
    For when she is 18 to start credit history however it is older.
    For when she is good that you are teaching her money which is good that you will have.

    For one year dont use the money put it back over about 3month period youll pay little interest but she will now have history of paying back loan on time.
    The money put it back over about 2000 or so take it out for her about 2000 or so take it in savings account have history of paying.

    I would think it would be age 18. I think that’s because she can’t contract till she’s of age.
