A co­-signer is a person that agrees to join the primary borrower in being responsible for the payment and loan obligation. All co-­signers are fully responsible for payment just as the borrower is. You may benefit from using a co-­signer if that co­-signer strengthens the creditworthiness or ability to pay.

The co-signer must submit their own application and is assessed based primarily on character and capacity.


An individual can be considered an acceptable co-signer, if they:

• Is a relative or close friend

• Has had the same job for more than 24 months

• Has lived at the same address for more than 18 months

• Has good income relative to monthly expenses (TDSR < 40%)

• Has a credit score that is considered near-prime or prime (above 660)

• Has an asset (home, savings, paid out vehicles, etc.)
