The intent of this program is to provide credit cards to members who would not otherwise qualify for an unsecured credit card because of insufficient credit experience or poor past credit history. Approval of secured credit card requests requires a completed credit card application and no evidence or indication of current or future credit problems. Members who have caused the credit union to suffer a financial loss are not eligible for this program.
Establishment of unsecured credit card credit limits may be considered after two years' satisfactory performance on a secured basis. Approval of such unsecured limits requires loan officer review of a current application and underwriting consistent with usual standards.
