What are the requirements to be approved for a secured credit card?
Answers:
I don't think they care about your credit score or employment history. It's a secured card. So you are giving the bank the money first and your borrowing against your own money. The bank that issues the card has nothing to lose. After you show them that you can pay back regular payments using your own money as collateral for a while, they will increase your credit limit. You will only get your original money back when you cancel the card in most cases.
Most banks will give you a secured card if you deposit a set amount in a savings account. Wells Fargo has a card with a $300 minimum.
I had one for 6 months. After that I was able to open a true Visa credit card.
