Why people trust opensky

Frequently asked

What is a "secured" credit card?

A secured credit card requires a one-time refundable security deposit to open and is equal to your credit limit. For example, if you deposit $100, your credit limit becomes $100. The beauty of the opensky secured credit card is that you can open an account without undergoing a traditional credit check. This is especially beneficial if you have a poor credit history or no credit history at all.

How much will a secured credit card raise my score?

Your rate of improvement depends on a few factors, including your current status, payment habits, and your management of this and any other lines of credit. Opensky is designed specifically to help people improve their credit fast, with an online/mobile app and tools like alerts to help monitor your account. Plus you will get considered for credit line increases that turbocharge your growth.

How can I obtain a copy of my credit report?

Federal law states that you can get a free report from each of the three nationwide consumer credit reporting companies - Experian®, TransUnion® and Equifax® - once every 12 months. Don't be fooled by offers from companies to pull your credit report or websites that ask for payment to see your credit report; only https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action is the official site authorized by the Federal government.

Building credit doesn't have to cost extra.
