Overview

This card has a relatively low APR for a secured card and a higher credit limit of up to $3,000 (matching your security deposit), and doesn’t require a credit check to get. But it also offers no rewards or bonuses, comes with a $35 annual fee and has no automatic path to an unsecured card.

Pros

  • This secured card has lenient credit requirements that allow almost anyone to get approved, no matter their score. OpenSky Secured Visa claims that 99 percent of its users who had no credit built up a credit score within six months of using the card

Cons

  • This card has a $35 annual fee, no rewards or welcome bonus and no path to an automatically upgraded unsecured card.
