    Is anyone aware of a credit card both cardholders can view the account online ?

    Have a BOI card but my other half can only be an additional cardholder and as such she can't view activity online (only I can).

    Joint cards (like a joint current account) are available abroad but are not so much here or is there an option?

    Just give her your log in so she can view activity also?

    They also have civil law, while Ireland has common law, it's not just about the cards, it about the legal status as well.

    Not ideal and in 2019 don't understand why this is the workaround....

    If you can have a joint current account and/or a mortgage with both parties being joint and severely liable with joint access, why not a credit card, what is the difference?

    AIB. Will allow the other person to add the account to their own accounts. They just can’t download the statement.

    My husband and I always used one password and pin to view our credit card bill. Once when he was checking something else with the bank he told them we both use the same log in details and they told him he needed his own and so he now also has his own log in details. He still uses the old log in details and never bothers about his own. As long as it is a trustful relationship there is absolutely no problem.
