NerdWallet Review
The Deserve® Edu Mastercard for Students doesn’t require a credit history or a security deposit. International students will appreciate that it also doesn’t require a Social Security number.
The $0, and it earns an unlimited 1% cash back on all purchases. The card reports to two credit bureaus, and it offers a credit limit up to $5,000.
The ongoing APR is 20.99% Variable, which makes carrying a balance potentially expensive. But you’ll earn rewards while you build credit, a rare combination for a starter card. For more information, see NerdWallet’s full review.
