We provide members 18 years of age and older an opportunity to build a credit history with rewards for maintaining it. Your credit history follows you where ever you go; so you'll want to make sure it stays in good standing.
Starting Out
Your credit is a reflection of you. And it's what future lenders will look at when you start making major purchases like a car or house, even renting your own apartment. The fact is, if you have "good" credit, you'll get preferred rates when you borrow money. With "less than perfect" credit, you'll be subject to higher interest rates because lenders will consider you a "risk" when they look at your history.
Reasonable Rates. Reasonable Limit.
The Progressive VISA was designed to fit your lifestyle. It gives you a reasonable limit of $500 and provides you the opportunity to make payments on time and therefore begin building your good credit history. The initial rate is only 14.89% compared to other rates on cards that can range from 16% to 22%, or more. Plus, this rate is good for purchases and advances, unlike most other cards which charge a higher rate on cash advances.
Here's the good part!
As you maintain a good payment history, you'll be rewarded with an increased limit and a lower rate!
- After one year of good payment history, your credit limit could be increased to $1,000.
- After two years we'll review your account and if approved, re-qualify you for a regular VISA Platinum Card.
