secured card

Credit requiring deposit

A secured card is a credit card backed by a cash deposit that typically equals the credit limit.

The deposit reduces the lender's risk, making secured cards accessible to people with poor or no credit history who want to build credit.

If you default, the issuer keeps your deposit.
