The Indigo Platinum Mastercard is a simple credit-building card designed for people with limited credit or a bad to fair credit score (300 to 670). The card is issued by Celtic Bank, a Utah-Chartered Industrial Bank, Member FDIC, and serviced by Genesis FS Card Services, Inc.
Some of the interesting features offered by this card are that it doesn't require a credit check or security deposit, and there's a fast and easy application process. As well you'll get extended warranty coverage and travel assistance services.
The Indigo Platinum Mastercard reports to the three main credit bureaus: TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian. If you're trying to build your credit score, this works in your favor.
On the other hand, the lower your credit score is, the more you'll pay for an ongoing annual fee. New cardholders with poor credit will pay $75 for the first year, which will be calculated at either $59 or $99. The card has a high APR (24.9%), and its maximum credit limit is only $300.
