Verified CustomerThe card sucks. it is aggravating to pay the bill. It seems like it makes you jump through hoops just to pay the bill every month. And if your late on your payment they freeze your SECURED card and won't let you use your own money BS!!!

This is the worst credit card I’ve ever had. Not worth the trouble. The only way you can make payments to it is through online banking bill pay or sending the payment by mail which takes longer so by the time you send the payment, it’s late. They don’t have any apps and their website is not user friendly at all. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to get this card ever!!

Verified CustomerGood credit building card with decent annual charge and 17.99% apr. the only bad thing is it’s a secured card that never changes to unsecured but at least now you're able to add to security deposit. Customer service is great never had long wait times or issues getting an American person from Georgia.
