Although in life, in most cases, you can get by without a credit card, today there are many services that require it, such as car rentals, hotel bookings, etc. If you have a poor credit history and need to improve it, there are various companies that provide secured credit cards. This means you deposit a certain amount of money with the credit card company (which will be equal to your credit card limit).Companies like Koho, Capital One, and Neo offer secured credit cards.
