WHAT WE LIKE
The Chime Credit Builder Secured Visa Credit Card has no annual fee and does not check your credit. It is different from other secured credit cards in that you can use your security deposit to pay your bills. When you do that, you credit limit decreases with your security deposit, but you can always top it up. In fact, Chime lets you top up a set amount every month automatically. In fact, the Chime secured card behaves more like a prepaid card but yet reports to all three major credit bureaus and allows you to build or rebuild your credit.
While there are no credit checks, you need to set up a savings account with Chime and also a recurring direct deposit. You also have to direct deposit $200 into your savings account before you can open your secured credit card. You also have to pay in full every month and cannot carry a balance.
Annual Fee - $0
Regular APR - 0% - have to pay in full every month
