The Orchard Bank Silver MasterCard, issued by HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A., is designed for those with an average or a limited credit history who do not wish to secure a credit card account with a deposit, as this is often the case with a secured card.
Although the card can help those with a limited credit history, it does have several costly factors that should be considered before applying.
The interest rate is very low for this type of card. There is an annual fee of $49, which is about average for this type of credit card. There is also an application fee of $49. In total, the cardholder can expect to pay $98 in the first year.
This card also offers common cardholder benefits such as emergency card replacement, lost and stolen card reporting, and no liability for unauthorized transactions.
