Visa Classic Secured Card FAQs

How does a secured credit card work?

You establish your secured card account with a deposit when you open it. Each month when you make changes and pay off your balance, your credit begins to improve. If something happens and you can’t make the payment, your deposit goes to cover your payment.

Is this card compatible with digital or mobile wallets?

Yes! Using your card should be convenient, and it is with our Visa® cards. They are all ApplePay, Android Pay, and Samsung Pay compatible.

What kind of fraud protection does the Visa® Classic Secured card offer?

Our cards are equipped with protective features to keep your financial life running smoothly. You will enjoy all of the protection offered by Visa®, including travel protection and emergency assistance. We also offer loan protection and Financial Hardship Assistance for unexpected life events or expenses.

Is there an annual fee with this card?

No. We don’t think you should have to pay to use our credit cards. So we never charge the kind of fees that the big banks often charge.

How long does it take to build credit with a secured card?

It usually takes about 30-45 days for your new account to be reported to the credit bureaus. From there, each month that you pay off your card balance (and your other bills on time, too), your credit builds.
