account holder

Person with balance

An account holder is a person or entity registered as the owner of an account—whether bank account, credit card, utility service, or online platform.

The term appears in legal and financial contexts to identify who has rights and responsibilities: Only the account holder can authorize withdrawals.

Joint accounts may have multiple account holders.
