Are you looking to establish credit for the first time or work on improving your credit score? Our Savings Secured Credit Card is a smart and secure way to achieve your financial goals, featuring a fixed interest rate of 17.99%.

Unlike traditional credit cards, a Savings Secured Credit Card is backed by your own savings, making it easier to get approved and lower risk for you and us. It’s a powerful tool for demonstrating responsible financial habits and building a positive credit history.

How It Works:

  1. Your Savings, Your Credit Limit: You make a one-time security deposit into a special savings account. This deposit then becomes your credit limit on the card. For example, a $500 deposit gives you a $500 credit limit. Your deposit remains in your savings account, earning interest, as long as your credit card account is open and in good standing.
  2. Use It Like Any Other Credit Card: You can use your Savings Secured Credit Card for everyday purchases, online shopping, and more – just like a regular credit card.
  3. Build Your Credit History: We report your payment activity to the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). By making on-time payments and keeping your balance low, you’ll demonstrate responsible credit behavior, which can significantly improve your credit score over time.
  4. Your Deposit is Refundable: Once you’ve successfully built a strong credit history and decide to close your special savings account (or potentially transition to an unsecured card), your initial security deposit is returned to you, provided your account is paid in full.

Who Can Benefit from a Savings Secured Credit Card?

  • First-Time Credit Users: If you’re new to credit and want to get started on the right foot.
  • Individuals Rebuilding Credit: If you’ve had past credit challenges and want to improve your credit score.
  • Those Seeking Financial Discipline: The card’s secured nature can help you manage your spending and build good habits.

Key Benefits of Our Savings Secured Credit Card:

  • Fixed Interest Rate: Enjoy a fixed interest rate of 17.99% on purchases.
  • Easy Approval: Generally easier to qualify for compared to traditional unsecured cards.
  • Builds Credit: Reports to major credit bureaus to help you establish or improve your credit score.
  • Financial Flexibility: Provides a convenient way to make purchases.
  • Refundable Deposit: Your security deposit is returned to you when you close your account in good standing.
