The Orchard Bank credit card is issued by HSBC Bank. This is a sub prime credit card.

They have a unique application process. They will match your credit score with the four cards they offer.

This includes a secured card and three unsecured credit cards. If you have made some mistakes in the past with your credit then you are guaranteed to be issued a card that corresponds to your credit score.

If you have a very damaged credit history then you will be approved for the secured card. With this card you make a deposit and you are issued a credit card with a corresponding credit limit.

This card will work just like an unsecured card, meaning you will have monthly payments. Your APR will be between 8.9% and 14.9%. This is lower than most bad credit cards that carry an APR of roughly 19%.

If you have limited damage to your credit score then you will be approved for an unsecured card. If you want to have the secured card instead you can still be issued that card.

The unsecured cards have an APR between 8.9% and 18.9%. One of the unsecured cards will carry a $19 account set up fee and you will have to pay a low annual fee.

However the fees with the Orchard Bank cards are dramatically less than any other available bad credit cards. In addition they offer considerably lower APR's too.

All four of these cards do report monthly to the major credit bureaus. By using your card responsibly you can create a positive payment history.

A positive payment history will help to improve your credit score. It is estimated that this factor makes up to 35% of your score.

These cards will also help to improve your ratio of available credit to debt. This is estimated to account for 30% of your score. It is how the bureaus check to see if people are in over their heads financially.

For your information it is rumored that once a negative mark on your credit report ages four years it has much less weight on your credit score. However if you remove negative items from your report and create a positive payment history your credit score will jump substantially.

In sum if you need a second chance with credit we do suggest the Orchard Bank credit cards. They have helped over 2 million people, and used responsibly can improve your score substantially.
