The Best Secured Credit Cards

June 8, 2015 By newdirt.org 12 Comments

Secured Credit CardThese are 6 great secured credit cards for establishing or re-establishing credit (all cards report to the 3 credit bureaus). This list includes two cards by credit unions. A lot of credit unions offer great benefits to their members like no annual fees, low APR’s and more personalized service. If you have been denied by the big banks, my suggestion is to visit your local credit unions and find out if you are eligible for an unsecured or secured credit card with them.

  • Capital One Secured Master Card
  • Bank of America Secured Visa
  • Wells Fargo Secured Visa
  • Navy Federal Credit Union Rewards Secured Visa
  • EMV Savings Secured Visa Platinum Card
  • Discover it Secured Credit Card (no info available online)

Please make sure to leave your comments below, especially if you have experience with any of these cards or if you want to recommend other secured cards. I have experience using both the Capital One and the Bank of America secured cards. I used these two cards successfully to rebuild my credit, however, any secured card should work for you if used responsibly.
