Does Discover have a secured business credit card?

There are several types of Discover cards spanning a wide range of categories: cash back, travel, low interest, student, business, bad credit and more. All Discover cards have no annual fee and no foreign transaction fee. Plus, Discover matches all rewards earned during the first year for all their cards.

Discover is a card network, yet it also issues its own credit cards. All Discover cards offer a minimum of 1% back in rewards on purchases. Some cards give 5% back on purchases in select bonus categories that rotate each quarter. Others offer 2% back on gas and restaurant purchases, up to a quarterly limit. Depending on the card, you may also get introductory 0% APRs for 6 to 15 months on purchases and/or balance transfers.

Main types of Discover cards:

• Cash back: Discover it Cash Back, Discover it Chrome, NHL Discover it and more

• Travel: Discover it Miles

• Students: Discover it Student Cash Back and Discover it Student Chrome

• Business: Discover it Business

• Bad credit / no credit: Discover it Secured

• Balance Transfer: Discover it Balance Transfer and more

• Intro 0% APR: Discover it Cash Back, Discover it Miles and more

Discover offers credit cards for nearly every need and preference imaginable. With the exception of Discover it Secured (bad/no credit), you need a minimum of good credit (700 credit score) to get a Discover card. The downside is that Discover cards aren’t as widely accepted abroad as credit cards on the Visa and Mastercard networks.

The Discover Secured Credit Card’s requirements for approval are straightforward and fairly easy to meet, even with bad credit. Discover it Secured merely requires a bank account, some income to balance out any debt and a lack of bankruptcy in your history.

As a result, the Discover Secured Card’s approval requirements are more relaxed than any other Discover credit card’s. And it’s a great choice for either rebuilding bad credit or building credit from scratch. … read full answer

Still, approval isn’t guaranteed. So it’s worth taking a closer look at the factors that could lead to rejection before you apply.

Here are the Discover Secured Credit Card’s requirements:

• A bank account. You use this to pay the security deposit. And you’ll need to be able to deposit at least $200 to be approved.
  
• Some form of income. This isn’t that huge of a factor, as Discover has your deposit as collateral if you don’t pay them back. But Discover does say you can be denied if your income is too small.
  
• As little debt as possible. You can definitely have debt and still get approved for this card, but having an overwhelming amount might disqualify you.
  
• No pending bankruptcy. You can get approved with a completed bankruptcy on your credit report, but not if it’s still pending.

So the Discover Secured Card’s approval requirements aren’t all that high, but there’s still always a possibility of rejection. That’s why I recommend checking your credit score and report before you apply, to get a better grasp of your situation. And don’t forget that if you do get rejected, you can ask for reconsideration by calling Discover at 1-800-347-2683.
