In-Depth Credit Card Review |
This online card application is intended for residents of the United States only. For other country options, please refer to the right hand menu bar.
The Platinum Zero™ Secured VisaŽ Credit Card is a secured card issued by Applied Bank®. With no credit or income requirements, this card is designed for those with limited or poor credit history.
The major benefit of this card is the fixed APR of 0% for purchases, which is reasonably low for a secured card. There is a $500 minimum deposit required, a $5,000 maximum, and a fee of $9.95 per month.
Unlike most secured credit cards, this card provides additional services and benefits, including online account access and various fraud protection services.
It is important to note that a major drawback of the card is that there is no grace period for purchases. This means that interest will be applied immediately to any charges made with the card. A downside is that this card does not pay interest to the deposit amount, which sets it apart from other secured cards that do.
Those who can afford the $500 minimum deposit and do not mind accumulating finance charges once a transaction is posted will benefit most from the very low rate that the Platinum Zero™ Secured VisaŽ Credit Card has to offer.
Most Attractive Feature: Timely credit bureau reporting; No application fee
Least Attractive Feature: Minimum deposit; monthly fee
