Business card and Mortgage app.

I have an AMEX business card. Does it figure in the mortgage app process. Of course, it doesn't reflect in my FICO report but I have an excellent history-no lates and I've had the card over 1 year. I'd like for it to be a factor in consideration of my creditworthiness. Suggestions, experiences?

an acct. may not reflect your personal creditworthiness to lenders, unless you are individually, jointly or severally responsible for paying the bill.

Re: Business card and Mortgage app.

I am the person responsible for the card. I accepted an offer from AMEX based on (I guess) my relationship with them. I asked because the account does not reflect on my personal credit report even though the account is in my name and I am the only AU. If it reflects on a D&B, do mortgage lenders consider this type of credit card in your personal finances?

Re: Business card and Mortgage app.

so you want to be able to use your history with your business credit card towards underwriting with the mortgage??

Exactly! However, I don't want to have to get into a lot of paperwork involving my side business.
