Here's How Secured Credit Works.
New to credit building? A secured credit card allows you to select and fund your own credit limit, from $300 up to $5,000. The funds will be deposited into a special dividend-earning 18-month Secured VISA® Share Certificate account, which will serve as your credit line collateral.
A Card Built With Your Credit Needs In Mind.
The MCU Secured VISA® is designed to help members starting or improving their credit journey with favorable terms* and the freedom to determine your credit limit with a secured collateral account.
Build Credit on Your Terms
With the secured collateral and your selected credit limit, you set the terms of this card and build towards your future along the way.
No Annual Fee
We don’t charge you an annual fee for your MCU Secured VISA®—instead, you can put that money towards building your credit.
No Penalty Rate Pricing
This card is meant to help you, not penalize you. MCU is looking out for your financial future and is here to help with this secure card.
What is EMV Chip Technology?
EMV (chip card) technology is the most recent advancement in a global effort to combat fraud and protect sensitive payment and cardholder data. This technology includes an embedded microprocessor chip to store and protect cardholder data with increased security technology to reduce card fraud.
