Credit Card Review

The Bank of America Secured Visa® Card issued by Bank of America, is designed for those with limited or poor credit who may have had difficulty in obtaining a standard unsecured credit card.

There is an annual fee of $29, which is average for a secured card.

Although the APR applied to purchases is reasonably low for a secured card, this card does not charge an application fee or a transaction fee for purchases, which are favorable benefits.

Most often, secured credit cards do not have any additional perks or benefits; however, this card does provide several benefits, including auto rental insurance, travel, and emergency assistance, and Total Security Protection®. it also has the option to receive convenience checks at no extra charge. Perhaps the best benefit is the 0% introductory rate for balance transfers, cash advances, and direct deposits. The card also offers access to the Photo Expressions®.

Therefore, those who can afford to pay in full each month (to avoid finance charges) and can afford the $300 minimum deposit will benefit most from what the Bank of America Secured Visa® Card has to offer.
