Secured Credit Cards

Secured student credit cards are a great option for teenagers and college students. Banks offer the secured student credit card to the student, who then puts money in the bank as a sort of "security deposit". That money guarantees the card issuer will be paid if the student fails to pay the bills. The credit limit is determined by how much is secured in the bank as collateral.
