How the TD Cash Secured Credit Card works

  • Apply online
    If qualified, you'll receive conditional approval
  • Make a security deposit
    Once conditionally approved you'll open a TD Simple Savings account and make a deposit to secure your credit line
  • Set your credit limit
    Your security deposit is your credit limit. That means you can decide the amount that's best for you—from $300–$5,000, subject to credit approval
  • Graduate to an unsecured card
    If you use and maintain the card and keep it in good standing, you may be eligible to graduate to an unsecured TD Bank Credit Card. Please keep in mind, not all accounts qualify for graduation. A decision to graduate is based on responsible credit management across all of your credit cards and loans, including TD and others.

Each Spend Category represents Purchases that are grouped by the type of goods and services sold by the merchant, based on that merchant’s Spend Category Code (“MCC”). Merchants who accept Visa credit cards are assigned an MCC, which is determined by the merchant or its processor in accordance with Visa procedures and is based on the kinds of products and services they primarily sell. We do not determine which MCC a merchant uses. For complete rewards details, please read Important Credit Card Terms and Conditions.

The minimum credit limit for the Credit Card Account is $300, and you must deposit and maintain an amount up to your Credit Card Account credit limit in the Collateral Account within fifteen (15) business days from approval (if your account is approved). The amount you deposit up to your approved credit limit within fifteen (15) business days from approval will be your credit limit for your Credit Card Account. You may not make any withdrawals from the Collateral Account while it secures your Card. If you do not pay your Credit Card Account balance or you or we decide to close your Credit Card Account for any reason, you authorize us to apply all of the funds in the Collateral Account to your outstanding Credit Card Account balance.
