How does a secured credit card work?
It works just like a typical credit card. You can use it to make purchases anywhere MasterCard is accepted up to the amount of your credit limit. That includes online transactions as well as over the phone. You also have access to cash at hundreds of thousands of ATMs all over the world.

What will happen to my deposit?
Your deposit will be placed into an interest bearing savings account with Banco Popular. While your deposit earns interest, you will be able to enjoy the benefits of a major credit card.
