The Secured Neo Mastercard offers you the opportunity to earn cash back rewards – a feature that is hard to come by for a secured card. The card also comes with noteworthy budgeting features through Neo AI and the ability to adjust your credit limit anytime.

Pros

Cash back rewards: Cash back rewards apply to gas and grocery purchases, as well as purchases with Neo partners
Low minimum deposit requirement: The $50 minimum deposit requirement makes this card accessible for most – many other cards require at least $500
Customize rewards: For a low monthly fee, you can subscribe to Perks which allow you to earn rewards from your spending and benefits like airport lounge access for specific categories, such as travel or wellness

Cons

Higher interest rate: The card’s 19.99% interest rate is quite a bit higher than some low interest cards and other secured cards
Cash back rewards are limited: You can earn a maximum of $680 in cash back per year, which is quite limited
