BUILD SAVINGS. BUILD CREDIT.

Secured MasterCard®

The Bank of the West Secured MasterCard® entitles you to the many perks and privileges that come with being a MasterCard cardholder. In addition to worldwide acceptance, you’ll receive a wide range of value-added services.*

How it Works

Make a deposit into an interest-bearing savings account. This amount, along with your income, determines your credit limit. You can pay off and close your account any time, and your deposit is refunded with interest.

Unlike debit cards or prepaid cards, your account activity is sent to three major national credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. With a positive payment track record, you can improve your chances of qualifying for loans, better insurance rates, and better housing options.
