The Secured Neo World Mastercard offers great cash back rewards and credit reporting to help build your credit score.
Pros

- Low minimum deposit requirement: The $50 minimum deposit requirement makes this card accessible for most – many other cards require at least $500
Cons
- Higher interest rate: The card’s interest rate ranges from 19.99% to 29.99% depending on your credit profile and location. This is quite a bit higher than some low interest cards and other secured cards
