Having a checking account does not directly help to build credit. Credit is typically built through the responsible use of credit cards, loans, and other forms of credit that are reported to credit bureaus. However, having a checking account can indirectly support your credit-building efforts by helping you manage your finances effectively and potentially qualify for credit products in the future.

The danger is if the cosigner where to default on payments or abuse the account (such as using a credit card you both are signers on to rack up a lot of debt).
