Understanding Credit Cards Secured by Fixed Deposits and Their Benefits
A credit card against a fixed deposit, or FD-backed credit card, is issued using a fixed deposit as collateral, allowing customers to access credit based on their deposit amount. This option benefits individuals without credit history by providing easier credit access without extensive income verification. The fixed deposit continues to earn interest while the card functions like a regular credit card for various transactions, making it suitable for first-time credit users and those seeking secured credit options.
