Guaranteed Secured Mastercard is an option for customers who have bad credit or don’t have it.

Customers only need to make a security payment and use their credit card as a regular payment method.  

Capital One Guaranteed Secured Mastercard features

The main feature of this credit card is that with its help, customers can build and rebuild their credit. In addition, Capital One Canada makes regular reports to credit bureaus of Canada, so if customers use it responsibly, their credit will increase. 

Moreover, the main difference between the Gold Guaranteed Mastercard and the Secured one is that the second one has a real guaranteed approval. When customers apply for the Guaranteed Mastercard, the bank checks their eligibility. If customers easily fit the bank’s requirements, they are approved for Gold. Still, if not, they are automatically approved for the Secured one, the only difference being that they will have to pay security funds.

To receive the card, customers need to send in their funds through their banks' online banking site or by cheque or money order. Also, security funds will be fully returned if they decide to close their account and have the balance paid off.

In addition, the bank claims that all covered items will be replaced or repaired, or the purchase price will be reimbursed at the insurance company’s discretion.
