Many banks offer “secured” credit cards, which are essentially pre-paid credit cards that operate like a debit card by allowing the user to charge up to a predetermined amount of available funds. Although these cards frequently charge a nominal annual fee for their use, they are often a better alternative to a traditional debit card because the bank will report the account to the credit reporting agencies, which ultimately improves one’s credit score, and when the card is used for travel, the bank will not place a freeze on the account to ensure that money is available.
