Wells Fargo Secured Visa Card

Wells FargoŽ Secured VisaŽ Card

Quick Summary:
This Visa offer is issued by Wells Fargo. This is a secured card that does not issue a traditional line of credit. APR's may vary among applicants, however the lowest standard APR is 18.99%* (Variable)*.

Important Rates:
The lowest available APR is variable, meaning that the rate can change as U.S. prime rates fluctuate. You can find out how to compute your APR in the programs terms and conditions. For example, you may be instructed to add 15.74% to the U.S. prime rate.

There is an annual fee of 18* for this card.

Rewards:
This is not a rewards card.

Credit Record Needed:
Based on the FICO score recommendation, the issuer may expect that applicants may have had problems with their credit history, or are working on building their credit reputation. A FICO credit score of 565 is recommended for a higher chance of approval, but it is not required. There are a number of other factors that this issuer may also consider when making decisions for approval.

Other Basics:
The grace period listed for the Wells FargoŽ Secured VisaŽ Card is at least 25 days*. So interest charges will not be applied for purchases during those days. Be aware that some issuers will begin charging interest on cash advances and balance transfers on the transaction date.

Uses for this type of card may include budgeting funds, adding deposits for later use, building a credit rating (if issuer reports to the credit bureaus), and possibly more. A secured credit line may be compared, or is similar to a debit card.

This card contains the brand of Visa, where acceptance is global. Most businesses that accept credit cards will accept Visa as a form of payment.

Approval Rate:
There were 8 people that reported their status to us after they applied. They provided us with helpful qualification information, including their credit scores, the rates offered to them, household income and more. 75% of those applicants were approved.

This card has a poor approval or acceptance rate. Since this is a card for poor credit, moderately high fees or APRs may be contributing factors for people that decide to accept this card. Furthermore, if your FICO score is close to or higher than 565, then your chance of approval may be even greater.

Approval Time:
Approval time for this offer is not listed. You could expect a possible instant decision, but you should expect a final credit decision within 1-2 weeks.

Offer Details:

Don't have a credit history, or been turned down for credit in the past? By using credit responsibly, including your Wells Fargo Secured Card, you can go a long way in building strong and healthy credit.

Other Remarks:
A Secured Card works like any other credit card, and can be used wherever Visa credit cards are accepted, but requires a deposit. You deposit $300-$10,000 into a "Collateral Account." Your credit line will directly reflect the amount of your deposit. You still need to make monthly payments toward any balance you accrue, as with any other credit card. After 12 months, you may be eligible to graduate to an unsecured credit card, and get back the money you deposited in your Collateral Account.

* Please see the credit card application for details about terms and conditions. Reasonable efforts are made to maintain accurate information. However all credit card information is presented without warranty.
