What is the difference between an unsecured and secured credit card?
assistant
The main difference between an unsecured and secured credit card is that an unsecured credit card is granted by a lender without any form of collateral, while a secured credit card requires a deposit that acts as collateral and is used to secure the loan against default. An unsecured credit card may also come with higher interest rates, while a secured credit card often has lower interest rates. Additionally, secured credit cards may have higher credit limits, since the lender knows the deposit limits the amount of risk.
