I am applying for a secure credit card, but why do I need a co-applicant?

You don’t need a co-applicant to get approved for a secured credit card.  A secured credit card will help you build credit history with low risk to both you and your lender.  The only difference between a secured card and a regular credit card is that with a secured card, your credit limit matches the amount of the deposit you put down – this usually starts around $200.00.  This deposit acts as your collateral.  Your credit limit can be as little or as much as you choose – you can increase your limit by simply adding more to the amount that you initially deposited.  The great thing about a secured credit card is that it can act as a personal savings account while building your credit history at the same time.
