Take control of your credit with the M&T Secured Credit Card.

We're here to help you establish, improve or rebuild your credit.

Building your financial future is important.

Whether you're starting from scratch or looking for a way to rebuild your credit, the M&T Secured Credit Card is a great place to start.

Secured with a deposit

Your card is secured by a deposit equal to your credit limit (greater than or equal to $250).

 

Graduate to an unsecured credit card

We periodically review your account to determine if you meet the criteria to graduate to an unsecured credit card and have your security deposit returned.                  

Accounts will be automatically reviewed on a periodic basis, beginning after the account has been opened at least six months, to see if your account qualifies to “graduate” to an unsecured credit card, after showing responsible credit management over time. If you are graduated to an unsecured credit card, your security deposit will be made available for use in your M&T savings account.  Time periods are subject to change.
