Highlights

  • With no credit check or prior credit required, anyone can start building credit. Fund your card with a minimum security deposit of $100 and use it anywhere Visa® is accepted in the U.S. Build credit by making on-time payments and maintaining a low credit utilization ratio. Every on-time payment helps build credit history.
  • If you don’t have the $100 security deposit today, consider a Credit Builder Account2 starting at $25 a month4. Consistent, on-time payments help you build credit and build savings to secure the Self Visa® Credit Card3.

Staff Review

Editor's Rating:

2.5 out of 5

Our take: This combination of a loan and secured credit card could prove useful as a one-two credit-building punch, but since you'll essentially have to pay interest charges on your own money, it's unlikely to be the most cost-effective credit-building option.
