Does anyone know if you can add someone as an authorized user on a debit card? Would they have to be a co-owner of the bank account or could they just have authorization to use the card? I'm referring to the visa/mc debit cards that can be used like a credit card.
Your best bet is to call your bank. Different banks probably have different rules about this. At my credit union, I had to add my wife as a joint checking account holder for her to be able to write checks/use a debit card.
I agree...it's like allowing someone else to use your actual checkbook. Probably will have to add them to the acct...but, again, check w/ the bank. DB
