VISA Secured Credit Card FAQs

How does a secured credit card work?

A secured credit card means that you provide the funds in your Share Savings Account as collateral in case you don't make your payments. This means Best Reward FCU can offer a credit card to people with no credit or bad credit, who may not qualify for an unsecured credit card.

  • While your secured credit card account is open, you do not have access to some or all of your savings funds.
  • The amount of your savings used as collateral may determine your credit limit.
  • If you don't make your payments, you will not get your collateral savings funds back.
  • You can build your credit by making timely, monthly payments as your payment history makes up about 35% of your credit score.
  • For best results, pay off your balance in full each month as this will improve your credit utilization rate, or debt-to-credit ratio, which determines about 30% of your credit score.
