Cardholder

The term ‘cardholder’ is usually used in the context of credit cards but can be used to refer to any individual holding a specific card. If you are a cardholder, it means you are authorised to use a specific card that offers you a set of benefits or privileges. You are a primary cardholder if the card has been issued to you and a secondary cardholder if the card has not been issued to you but you have the authority to use it and enjoy its benefits.
