a credit card that is secured by a deposit of your own money
Secured accounts are secured by a deposit. The bank would then extend a credit line - usually an amount from 100% to 200% of the deposit.

One secured card that stands out is the Capital One Secured Card, since the annual fee is reasonable and the security deposit can be as low as $49 for a limit of $200 (terms may change, this statement is as of this writing).Most secured credit cards require a deposit that will match your credit limit. Noted cards that give a limit equal to the deposit include the Platinum Zero Card from Applied Bank and Open Sky Secured Card.* in reality, there are three different types. Along with the two types mentioned, there are partially secured cards. These cards may not necessarily require a security deposit equal to the limit. However, these are usually classed amongst fully secured cards since a deposit is still necessary.
