This card is a sub prime unsecured card. This means the Continental Finance Card is designed specifically for individuals looking for a second chance with credit.

This card has an initial credit limit of $300. With semi-annual credit limit increases up to a maximum limit of $2000.

Your card will report monthly to all three major credit bureaus. Thus providing you a way to re-establish and rebuild your credit score.

This will help your score because it will improve your ratio of debt to available credit. In addition you can create a positive payment history by paying your monthly bill.

These two factors have a tremendous impact on your credit score. It is still important to remove bad credit items from your credit reports.

This card is unsecured which means there is no initial deposit, however because of your low credit score they will charge you an annual fee. Unfortunately this is an unavoidable cost and you will have a fee with any credit card you open with a damaged credit score.

The benefit of this card is the very low 9.75% APR. The industry standard on sub prime cards is just under 20%. Your card can be used at millions of locations across the globe.

They do offer easy approval and there are no minimum income requirements. You can still be approved for this card even with a recent bankruptcy on your credit history. They offer an online application decision within seconds of submitting an application.

This card is issued by the First Bank of Delaware. This bank has a long history of lending in the sub prime market.

With this card you will have free online account access. You will be responsible to pay your monthly bill and keep your balance below your limit.

Your other option for a credit card with a damaged credit score is a secured card. However this card is reported as a secured line of credit to the bureaus which will help your score but not as much as an unsecured account.

The other option is a catalog card. This is a credit card that is only accepted at a specific location. Do not use these credit cards as they often come with large upfront fees and typically only report to one credit bureau.

In sum we do suggest the Continental Finance MasterCard to anyone looking to re-establish their credit rating. This card will help by improving your ratio of debt to available credit and can build you a positive payment history.
