It is easy for employed people to get a credit card. But people with bad or no credit history often face rejection. In such cases, a credit card linked to fixed deposit (FD) can be useful to you. This option is beneficial for people with low CIBIL credit scores who are facing difficulty in getting a traditional credit card. Guaranteed returns are available on the money deposited in FD and it also acts as a guarantee for secured credit cards. Using a secured credit card can help individuals increase their CIBIL/credit score and build a credit history.
Different banks have different minimum balance required to open FD for secured credit cards. Today we are offering a credit card option which you can avail with an FD of Rs 2,000. This is called a step-up credit card.
