Secured credit cards: these are the same credit cards but require a cash deposit, can usually be from $200 to $500 and usually grant credit for the same value of the deposit made to the financial institution or bank.
If the management of the secured credit card is good in a short time (usually 6 months or less) the deposit money could be returned to the secured credit card holder and the bank or financial institution could increase the credit limit since he has been a financially responsible person.
Most secured cards report to the three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and Transunion) from the first credit card cut-off because they are designed to build credit history and increase credit score.
Authorized user: A secondary holder of a family member's credit account (usually a credit card) The credit card holder must have a good credit history since the person added as an authorized user will clone part of the account or authorized credit card holder's credit history.
