Students

Chase Card Services believes that many college students, like other adults, need and can benefit from the utility, convenience and safety associated with credit cards. Credit cards can provide a good way to establish a credit record that young adults need to pursue important goals such as owning a car, getting an apartment or, eventually, owning a home.

As with all financial commitments, however, credit cards carry important responsibilities and must be used wisely — they should not be perceived as enticements to expand debt beyond a reasonable ability to pay. And, just like a young person's first car, practice and education are critical to developing good financial habits.

To help students responsibly enter the world of credit, Chase invests special care and offers unique services for its student cardmembers. Chase also encourages every consumer — customer or not — to increase their financial literacy and take care in developing good financial habits from the start.

If you're like most people, college is the first time you're on your own, and it's also be the first time you handle your own finances. Some of the most valuable (and hardest) lessons you'll learn over the next few years won't come from a book — they'll come from experience. But if you're smart about it — if you plan ahead and take charge of your money — the financial skills you learn will stay with you for the rest of your life.
