At a glance

The Fortiva® Cash Back Rewards Credit Card is an unsecured credit card built for people with less-than-perfect credit who want to build or rebuild their history. Unlike a secured card, it does not require a refundable deposit, and if you are approved you receive a credit line up to $1,000. It is a real Mastercard, accepted everywhere Mastercard is, and it reports to all three major credit bureaus so responsible use is recognized.

Key benefits

  • 3% cash back on gas, groceries, and utilities, and 1% on everything else, with no cap on what you earn.
  • See if you prequalify. A soft inquiry lets you check your options without affecting your credit score, and no initial deposit is required.
  • Reports to all three bureaus. Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion see your on-time payments, which can help your history.
  • Real Mastercard acceptance anywhere Mastercard is welcome, in stores and online, plus standard Mastercard protections.
