How can I pay my OpenSky security deposit?

A security deposit on a credit card protects the card’s issuer by preventing the user from spending more than he or she can afford to pay back. Since the amount of a credit card’s security deposit usually acts as its credit limit, placing a deposit basically amounts to pre-paying your purchases. This reduces the issuer’s risk and prevents the need for high fees.

One of the best secured credit cards with a low deposit is the Capital One Platinum Secured Credit Card because new cardholders may be able to put down either $49, $99 or $200 and still get a $200 credit line, which would make the card only partially secured.

Other secured cards don’t have the potential to be quite as cheap, but there are a few really good options with a $200 deposit minimum. That’s still pretty low compared to the many secured cards that ask for $300-$500+.

Here are some good secured credit cards with low deposits:

• Capital One Platinum Secured: $49, $99 or $200 minimum deposit. $0 annual fee and $0 foreign transaction fee. $200 starting credit limit.
• Citi® Secured Mastercard®: $200 minimum deposit. $0 annual fee and 3% foreign transaction fee.
• OpenSky® Secured Visa® Credit Card: $200 minimum deposit. $35 annual fee. 3% foreign transaction fee. No credit check when you apply.
• First Progress Platinum Prestige Mastercard® Secured Credit Card: $200 minimum deposit. $49 annual fee. 3% foreign transaction fee. 9.99% (V) interest rate.

Capital One Platinum Secured doesn’t guarantee a low deposit, but it does offer the chance of one. If your credit is toward the bottom of the bad credit range, you’ll probably still have to put down a $200 deposit. But the higher your credit score is, the better chance you’ll have of being assigned a low deposit.
