Some Secured credit cards are linked to a bank account, allowing a credit card company to deduct payment if the cardholder fails to pay. To obtain a secured card, a consumer must deposit an amount of money equal to the credit limit of the card into a bank account. This account is separate from any other accounts the consumer may have.
You deposit money into a security deposit account. Your credit line will directly reflect the amount of your deposit.
You can then make purchases with your card up to the amount you have in your security deposit account.
You must pay at least the minimum payment before the due date each month. Paying off your credit card balance in full each month instead of carrying a balance may help. Your security deposit does not cover minimum payments.
Based on your credit and payment history, you may qualify for an unsecured card at a later date.
