RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Virtually guaranteed approval as long as you provide the minimum $500 security deposit and are not currently in bankruptcy.
- Reports to the credit bureau monthly, making it an excellent tool for newcomers, students, or those rebuilding credit.
- Offers flexibility with a choice between a $0 annual fee (19.99% interest) or a $59 annual fee (14.90% interest).
The Trade-offs
- Requires tying up your own cash as a security deposit (from $500 up to $10,000).
- Cash advances are heavily restricted to a maximum of 20% of your credit limit.
- Does not offer any rewards program or insurance coverage, and is not available in Quebec.
