Authorized User and Primary User Accounts
The primary user is the person who applies directly to the credit card companies. In other words the owner of the credit. The credit reporting for primary users will always be considered as a stronger source to measure individuals by credit bureau standards. Authorized users are recognized by the information which is reported to the credit bureaus by card companies but may be subject to restrictions as to how the reporting is done and length of time and history reported. The primary user reporting file will contain all history from the institutions reporting payment history, and it will more heavily be weighted as a source for scoring and determining credit decisions for those applying directly for credit.
