How FD-Backed Credit Cards Can Help Build or Rebuild Credit History
An FD-backed credit card is secured by a fixed deposit held with a bank, allowing individuals with low or no credit history to access credit. The fixed deposit acts as collateral, and the credit limit is linked to its value. Users can build or rebuild their credit profiles by making routine purchases and paying bills on time. While the deposit continues to earn interest, responsible usage and timely repayment are essential for improving credit scores, though immediate score enhancement is not guaranteed.
