Review

Created for those with no credit history, or past credit problems. Secured card that establishes an interest yielding collateral savings account on behalf of the cardholder. Each deposit is funded by the cardholder and is applied to the credit limit, which can be as much as $5,000. The interest rate is high, even for a secured card, so pay it off each month. $59 annual fee, plus a $99.95 processing fee. No monthly activity fee. If you aren't approved, processing fee is refunded. Allows you to establish a credit history with the three major credit bureaus. Last Modified Date: 9/18/2009 12:00:00 AM
