What Is the Prime Rate and Why Does It Matter?
Secured Credit Card
Do you have a low credit score or no credit score? A secured credit card is a great option to help you build your credit while avoiding predatory loan alternatives.
A secured credit card is a type of credit card that requires a cash security deposit.
Your credit limit is determined by the amount you deposit up-front. For example, if you put down a $1,000 deposit, your credit card limit will be $1,000. You can increase your limit by requesting a limit increase and depositing additional funds.
For additional card details and benefits, reference the Visa® Classic credit card in the table above.

Why choose FCCU over a payday lender?
A payday loan is a high cost loan, generally for $500 or less, that is typically due on your next payday (CFPB, 2024).
Payday lenders often operate from convenient storefronts, whose lobbies mimic the look and feel of a fast-food restaurant, touting low to no credit requirements and quick payouts.
Many states have outlawed payday lending, as it is widely considered to be predatory. However, payday lending remains legal in Wisconsin, with some loans reaching up to 574% Annual Percentage Rate (yes, you read that right) according to USStatesLoans.org.
Historically, credit unions like FCCU have been a great alternative to payday lenders, offering small dollar loans at reasonable rates with relatively quick payouts for members with low to no credit— All the benefits of a payday loan with the backing of a trusted loan team who want to put you in a better financial position than when they met you.

Brief Description |
|
|
A credit card is a revolving line of credit, meaning that you can draw funds from it as long as it remains open. |
A term loan, or installment loan, is a fixed amount of cash borrowed, deposited as a lump sum, and repaid over a set period of time. |
|
Minimum Loan Amount |
|
|

|
Access to Funds |
|
|
You can make a purchase by swiping your card or entering card information online at any time. |
Your loan officer will either deposit the funds into your account or write out a cashier’s check with the full amount. |
|
Repayment Terms |
|
|
Your monthly payment is calculated based on the amount you’ve spent plus the remaining balance from previous months (AKA outstanding balance). Interest is accrued on the outstanding balance. You can pay the balance in full, instead of just the minimum payment due, to avoid interest entirely. See our fee schedule and your loan paperwork for any fees, like late fees, that could occur. |
You will make fixed, equal monthly payments based on the duration of the loan. Interest accrues at a rate based on your credit score and the term of the loan. You pay interest and principal with each contracted monthly payment (pre-payment is allowed). See your loan paperwork for any fees, like late fees, that could occur. |
