Not exact matches
Without a strong
credit score,
credit history,
credit background, you may need to take out a
starter card that has no rewards, a higher interest
rate, or one that has an annual fee, or even a secured
card that requires you to provide a cash deposit for collateral.
Starter credit cards have higher interest
rates and modest spending limits to provide a reasonable starting point for you and the lender.
For
starters, the way they work is exactly the same — you pay with your
credit card at the store or restaurant, you have a grace period before payment is due, and the
credit card has an interest
rate that is billed for any balance carried past the grace period.
While they may have higher annual fees or lower (or nonexistent) rewards
rates, these «
starter»
cards can be a great way to build your
credit score, making those premium
cards a less - distant reality.
