If you're looking for a secured card, try your local bank where you have a checking account. If they have a secured card, it's possible they offer their customers good terms. But if you're looking in the open market, I frequently recommend the Public Savings Bank Secured Card. This card reports to all three credit bureaus and has a fairly low 11.24 percent APR. There are no annual fees or monthly maintenance fees. But there is a $79 one-time setup fee.

Capital One is another bank that offers a secured credit card. The Capital One Secured MasterCard reports to the major credit bureaus. This card has a $24 annual fee and a purchase APR of 19.8 percent. That APR is a little high so you don't want to carry a balance.
Of course, your goal with a secured card is to rebuild your credit. Pay your credit card bill in full and on time. With persistence and patience, your credit score should climb and you'll qualify for an unsecured card.
