Before You Apply For A Secured Credit Card
It would be nice if you could make it through life without ever having to use a credit card. The fact is that many businesses require credit cards, even if you plan to use cash for the purchase. Hotels, car rentals, and airlines are just a few of the places that credit cards are required.
If you've never had credit or have a poor credit history, it might be difficult to get a regular credit card. In these situations, a secured credit card might be the only way to improve your credit standing.
Secured credit cards are viable options, but before you get one, there are some questions you should have answered.
HOW DOES A HOME TRUST SECURED CREDIT CARD WORK?
For many wishing to establish a credit history or to rebuild one secured credit cards, also refered to as prepaid credit cards can be a great option. They are accepted anywhere standard credit cards are, but instead of borrowing money from a bank when using them, you keep money on deposit with the bank that you withdraw with the card. This serves to provide the convenience of having a credit card without the risk of incurring debt.

What is a secured credit card?
A secured credit card is a product in which the security deposit you provide is equal to your credit limit. It works just like any other credit card. Your deposit will be held in an interest bearing account with interest (currently 2%) payable annually. You are required to make regular monthly payments over and above the security deposit because this is not a "prepaid" card.
