This feature is in phased rollout.
If you don't see the "Convert to Co-Applicant" button, your agency doesn't have this feature yet. If this is case for you, please contact Binti support by typing Talk to a Human in the chat widget for further assistance in changing a primary applicant to a co-applicant.
