    Does anyone know if a secured credit card lowers your fico score.

    Thanks

    Applying for the card and using it responsibily should improve your score over time. Of course when you apply you will get a hard inquiry which may cause you to lose a few points on your credit score.

    Many people use secured cards to help rebuild poor credit history.
