Поширені запитання

Can a secured credit card help build credit?

Yes. Secured cards report to all three bureaus just like unsecured cards. Six to twelve months of on-time payments on a secured card can significantly improve your score, often enough to qualify for an unsecured card.

How much should I deposit on a secured credit card?

Most secured cards require a $200 to $500 deposit. Put down whatever you can comfortably afford, but aim for at least $300 to $500. Your deposit becomes your credit limit, and a higher limit makes it easier to keep utilization low.

When should I upgrade from secured to unsecured?

Most people can qualify for an unsecured card after 6 to 12 months of on-time payments with a secured card. Some issuers automatically review your account for upgrade. Check with your issuer or apply for a separate unsecured card when your score hits 640 or above.
