CalendarMake the Most of Your Card

Your share-secured card works like a traditional credit card and can impact your credit score. To get the most benefit out of your card, be sure to:

  • Make on-time payments

    Making on-time payments shows lenders you’re reliable. Late payments will negatively impact your credit score.

  • Monitor your credit usage

    A good rule of thumb is to use no more than 30% of the total credit available to you at any given time, including credit you may have from other financial institutions. This will help promote a healthy credit score.

  • Stay informed

    Building your credit requires practicing healthy money habits and understanding what affects your scores. Learn more about what affects your credit here.

FAQs

What is a secured credit card?

A secured credit card is a revolving line of credit that uses a deposit by the cardholder as its credit limit. It works like an unsecured credit card and helps build credit by reporting to the major credit bureaus. 

Why should I get a secured credit card?

A secured credit card is ideal for those with low credit scores or a limited credit history. Finding the best secured credit card for your needs will help you build credit from scratch or rebuild after a big drop in your scores. 

What are the benefits of a secured credit card? 

Secured credit cards are often easier to qualify for since you don’t need perfect credit to apply. Your credit limit is also tied to your deposit, so you can control your spending and build credit with a limit that works for you. 

How does a secured card work to build credit? 

Through responsible use, a secured credit card can help build your credit as it shows the credit bureaus you can handle a credit account. As long as you pay your balance in full every month and keep your usage low, your credit may improve over time. And with an improved score, you can qualify for unsecured credit cards with higher credit limits and additional perks. 

Can I turn a secured credit card into an unsecured credit card? 

After building up credit and using the card responsibly, you can apply for an unsecured credit card with higher credit limits and additional rewards. 

What is Auto Rental Collision Coverage?

When you use your Rewards Visa Card to rent a vehicle, you’ll get built-in Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver coverage. Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver will reimburse you for damages caused by collision or theft up to the actual cash value of most rental cars.
