Obtaining a credit card in Canada with bad or no credit

by


Your credit rating plays a important role when trying to obtain a unsecured credit card in Canada. Credit scores range from the lowest at 300 to the best of 900. Having a credit score over 700 will most likely approve you for the best credit card rates available. If your credit score is under 700 don't panic. Most banks only require a credit score of 620 to be approved for a prime mortgage rate. On the other hand, credit cards are more difficult to obtain than mortgages because they are unsecured. If your credit score (FICO) is under 700 you can still qualify for a credit card at a higher rate. The lower your score the higher your interest rate will be.
