“A cosigner is someone who guarantees that if the borrower cannot pay back the loan, they will be legally responsible to pay back the debt. In other words, the cosigner is taking on a huge responsibility for the international student loan or study abroad loan since they are being asked to accept the responsibility of paying back the total loan amount plus any interest.”

A co-signer is one whose obligation is to repay a debt arising only after the borrower has defaulted on the principal amount as well as interest; however, co-signing a loan is not without risk. A person co-signing a loan should be comfortable with the borrower’s credibility.

Co-signer is one who executes an agreement or other document in concert with another. Co-signing often involves a promise to pay another person’s debt arising out of contract if that person fails to do so. It is often required for people with no credit history, such as international students.

A co-signer is someone who agrees to sign a loan with the student because the student might not match the citizen or credit criteria required. The co-signer meets all the requirements and therefore helps the student obtain the loan, however the co-signer is also going to be responsible to payback for the loan if the student is unable to.

A co-signer is a person( Can be a parent, close family member or friend) who can assure the lender that they will repay the amount which has been taken by other person.
Eg. X want to take a loan of 1000 USD from a bank, the bank asked for a co-signer. So Y turns up as co-signer to repay if X cannot repay it. This will assure the bank to give a loan to X

co-signer is a person or an obligor is a person who becomes obligated under any commercial paper such as a promissory note or a check by signing the instrument in conjunction with the original obligor, thereby promising to pay it in full.in addition the co-signer may be held equally responsible for the payment of the debt or may be required to pay only upon the failure of the original obligor to do so depending upon state law and the terms of the agreement that also determines the rights of the co-signer.

A co-signer is an (credit worthy) individual that signs as a guarantor that your loan will be repaid. Basically you are using their credit status/rating to acquire a loan and they are saying that they will pay if you do not.

What is a co-signer? A co-signer is a person who volunteers and guarantees to a creditor that if the debtor cannot repay his loan, they will have full responsibility in paying the debt back. It’s a huge responsibility for the co-signer because they are taking on a debt that is not theirs.

A co-signer is a person who guarantees that if the borrower cannot pay back the loan he will be legally responsible to pay back the debt. Infact a co-signer holds a great responsibility on behalf of the borrower. Usually international students are asked to arrange for a co-signer before taking loan from any organisation. So a co-signer plays a part of witness as well.
