How to Apply for the FSG Secured Visa Credit Card

The FSG Secured Visa Credit Card, offered by FSG Bank and Visa, is a balance-first credit card, meaning you must set aside some money from your bank account when applying for the card in case you miss a payment. The card is ideal for those who have poor credit histories and are looking to improve on that front.

This article outlines how one can apply for an FSG Secured Visa Credit Card.
