USAA Secured Card®

Issuer: USAA Savings Bank

Network: MasterCard or AMEX

Credit Rating: Poor

It's a real credit card — not a prepaid or debit card, that helps you build or improve your credit score.
When you apply — you'll also be opening a USAA 2-year Certificate of Deposit (CD), an interest-earning deposit account that has a two-year term and a $250-minimum initial deposit.
Your CD is a security deposit — the money you put in upfront, from $250 to $5,000, is the card's credit limit.
Earn interest on your CD — your deposit is guaranteed to grow. Plus the money is yours to keep as long as you don't default on your payments.
Start building your credit — opening a CD lets you get a credit card even if you don't have a credit history or have bad credit.
Get a low 9.9% APR on purchases, balance transfers and cash advances. This rate is tied to the Prime Rate, an industry standard used to determine your credit card interest rate. This ensures that your rate won't be changed on a whim.
$35 annual fee, with no application fee.
