Yes, Chase does have a student credit card available to new applicants right now: the Chase Freedom® Student credit card. It has a $0 annual fee, a $50 initial bonus, an annual $20 bonus, and a below-average APR. The Freedom Student can also help responsible new cardholders build credit history, with monthly reporting to the major credit bureaus.
It’s just unclear exactly who is eligible for approval. Most student-branded credit cards are available to applicants with limited or no credit history. But it’s not unheard of for a student card to require good credit or better, and Chase has recommended that students apply for a good-credit credit card before. Prior to the new Chase student credit card hitting the market this summer, Chase.com suggested that students apply for the Chase Freedom Unlimited®.
That being said, it’s best to compare credit card offers from multiple banks and credit unions to make sure you’re getting a good deal. Chase’s student credit card is only one offer among many, and some issuers actually have more than one student card to choose from.
