Debunking 5 Secured Credit Card Myths

by Sean Masterson

When it comes to secured credit cards, many myths abound. From "they're only for people with bad credit" to "they're more expensive than unsecured cards", you can't always distinguish the truth from the lie. Worry not Wisconsin. I'm debunking the most common secured credit card myths.

1. Secured Cards are a Bad Credit Stigma
Think a secured card announces to the Wisconsin world that you have bad credit? Guess again. Most secured cards are indistinguishable from unsecured cards. Your card itself won't say anything and your credit report won't show the fact that your account is secured.

2. Secured Credit Cards Have High Interest Rates
Many Wisconsin people assume that secured cards are for people with bad credit, and as such they have a higher interest rate attached to them. This isn't the case. A secured credit card is less of a risk to creditors because the credit line is backed by a bank account. Because of this, secured cards often have lower interest rates than many of the bad credit unsecured cards.

3. They're For People with Bad Credit
If you think a secured credit card is only for Wisconsin people with bad credit, you can rethink that logic. Secured credit cards are for people from all walks of life. You don't have to have bad credit to carry one. Many Wisconsin people with decent credit qualify for unsecured cards, but not the best ones. In these cases, a secured credit card can offer better terms and higher credit limits.
