VIENNA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Navy Federal Credit Union recently made an update to its secured credit card to further improve member access to credit-building products. Building upon the card’s market leading rates and rewards program, the credit union enhanced the card by decreasing the security deposit from $500 to $200, making it more accessible to its eight million members worldwide.
“We’re committed to the financial success and well-being of our members,” said Aaron Aggerwal, assistant vice president of credit cards at Navy Federal. “Many of them are looking for a card that helps them establish or build credit, but the reality is not everyone has $500 to invest in a secured card. By lowering the nRewards® security deposit to $200, we’re able to provide more credit-building opportunities for those that need it most.”
Additional nRewards features include:
- No annual fee
- No balance transfer fees
- No foreign transaction fees
- Rewards: 1 point per dollar spent1
- Variable APR between 10.99% - 18.00%2
- Free FICO score access
- Monthly account reviews starting at 6 months to determine eligibility for security deposit refund
Navy Federal’s nRewards Secured Credit Card has been recognized by WalletHub as 2018’s Best Military Credit Card for Credit Building.

Navy Federal members can apply for the card online or through the mobile app, call the 24/7 contact center or visit any of its 324 branch locations.
