How can i find a credit card for people who have bad credit

Not Financial Advice: Having bad credit or a low credit score doesn't mean you can't get a credit card.

Cards that charge relatively low fees or no fees:

  • Orchard Bank (part of megabank HSBC) offers three unsecured credit cards plus a secured card for consumers needing to rebuild their credit. The unsecured card's annual fees range from $39 to $59 and the APRs range from 14.9% to 19.9%.

  • The Capital One Secured MasterCard has an annual fee of $29. Deposit as little as $49 and get a credit line of $200. A larger deposit can increase your credit line up to $3,000.

  • Navy Federal 'n Rewards Secured Card comes with an APR as low as 8.99% and no annual fee.

Financial experts recommend that you only use credit cards for bad credit for 6 to 12 months as a way to improve your credit because interest rates can be high.
