Secured credit cards allow people with limited credit to build up a positive credit history by making their payments on time. Once they prove themselves, they may qualify for other credit products in the future, since their positive payment records are reported to the credit bureaus.
An unsecured credit card is the type of card you're likely most familiar with. They are the standard cards that come with a revolving line of credit as well as a grace period for purchases if you choose not to carry a balance. Unsecured cards do not require a security deposit, though you may still pay an annual fee.
Another option you may not be familiar with is a charge card. It is used like a credit card, but does not come with a credit line. This means that, when the bill arrives, you are expected to pay in full by the due date.
