Secured credit cards differ from regular “unsecured” cards in that they require a cash security deposit to open the account. The security deposit, typically $200 or more, is to protect the issuer in the case you default on your bill. Secured credit cards are generally easier to apply for as the goal is to establish a good payment history and graduate to a traditional credit card.
