Co-applicant

A second borrower whose income and credit are considered along with yours, sharing repayment responsibility.

What it means

Adding a spouse, parent or business partner as co-applicant increases eligibility because both incomes are counted, and can improve pricing if the co-applicant has a stronger credit profile. All co-owners of a property must be co-applicants on a loan against it.

A co-applicant is fully liable for the loan. Their credit report reflects the loan and its repayment, so choose the arrangement carefully.
