A secured credit card helps to build credit by allowing the card holder to provide cash collateral to the bank while making payments on time. After a set period of time, a secured credit card will turn into an unsecured credit card. Find out how credit reporting agencies see secured credit cards as an effort towards building better credit with information from a financial adviser in this free video on credit cards.

  • just received an invite from Capital One & I am definitely going to apply. Secured credit cards are one of the only ways to actually build on your credit faster without purchasing a new car, or another MAJOR purchase. I have a lot of work to do on my credit, & hopefully this works! :)

  • why is there a credit check when you apply for a secured credit card???

  • Yes you should its an excellent way to start i did it it worked..!!!

  • Yes~ Having no credit is a catch 22, you can't get credit...because you don't have credit.

  • What if you do not have a credit record, because you have never had a credit card - should you start with a secured card? Thank you for the information!
