Bottom Line:
Good choice for those with poor credit; Experian and TransUnion credit reporting
Full Review:
AppliedBank® Secured Visa® Gold Card is a secured credit card, a good choice for individuals who have no or limited credit history, or have past or current credit issues. There is no annual fee and although it only reports to 2 credit bureaus and not all 3, the credit bureau reporting feature should still help your rebuild your credit history.

Secured Credit Card
  • Guaranteed by your funds, which act as a "security deposit" in case you default on the loan extended by the credit card company.
  • Security deposit will be refunded in full if your account is up-to-date and paid on time when you close out your card.
  • Looks and works like any other credit card, so it won't be apparent to others that this is a secured card.
  • No credit check required, you just fund the card by depositing money into a FDIC-insured account.

Helps Credit History
  • Helps boost your credit history by reporting to all Experian and TransUnion credit bureaus every month so you can establish or rebuild your credit. (note: does not report to Equifax)
  • Looks like any other credit card on the credit reports. If you have a secured card, it does not indicate so in any way, a nice feature.
  • If you make your payments on time, you can help improve your credit score with good payment behavior.

Fees and APR
  • No annual fee.
  • Purchase APR: 9.99% (Fixed) APR. No grace period is provided.
  • Balance Transfer APR: balance transfers not permitted.
  • Minimum deposit required is $200 and the maximum deposit is $5,000.
