Bank One Credit Cards

A secured card is a credit card that is guaranteed with a cash deposit. In other words, you apply for the credit card, and give the bank a deposit. The amount of money you deposit will be your credit limit.

Secured credit cards are excellent for people who have credit problems, and they work well for people with no credit, because it allows them to establish a credit history.

Many banks offer secured credit cards, and the vast majority of these offers are from unfamiliar financial institutions. A bank does not have to be well-known to be trusted, but some people feel more comfortable dealing with financial institutions in which they are familiar.
