The $0-annual-fee Petal® 1 "No Annual Fee" Visa® Credit Card is a solid choice to begin or continue building credit. It’s designed for those with a weak cash flow or less-than-ideal credit history.
The card's issuing bank can consider more than just traditional FICO scores to determine your creditworthiness. It uses Petal’s algorithm to review banking data that offers a full view of your income, savings and spending. You won't need to put down a security deposit to qualify.
Compared with unsecured credit cards for bad credit, the card is light on fees: no annual fees, activation fees or monthly maintenance fees. In fact, cardholders can avoid fees entirely by paying their bill on time. And they can also earn rewards.
