This type of credit card typically includes a credit limit equal to what you've deposited with the card issuer, so it's a bit different than
a traditional unsecured credit card.
An additional benefit of the secured credit cards is that typically after six months to a year of on - time, regular payments, credit scores will improve enough to allow for a consumer's approval for
a traditional unsecured credit card.
Secured credit cards provide a viable alternative to
traditional unsecured credit card.
