Share-Secured VISA
Spectrum FCU offers members a Share-Secured VISA - which is a VISA card secured by the amount of money one has in a Spectrum share
account. It works much like a Certificate Secured Loan in
that the loan amount is limited to a specific share secured balance, but the rate is different (and of course it's a credit card)
and you can only charge up to the amount pledged. A share-secured Spectrum VISA is typically used by members to rebuild credit or
who want to use a credit card and want to leave their share savings account balance untouched.
The amount of required shares
pledged for a Share Secured VISA is 110% of the card limit. Members are required to pledge 110% of the credit limit to ensure that
there are funds available to cover interest rate finance charges.
CreditBuilder VISA
Spectrum FCU offers an option if you are in a position to establish or re-establish your good credit. It's called our CreditBuilder
VISA. It looks like our regular VISA Classic card but has an interest rate of 15.9%APR (subject to credit approval). Additionally
there is a low annual fee of $24 which may be waived with Prism and Global account relationships.
