Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Shutdown Risk Triggers
Loss of DCU membership in good standing, insufficient funds maintained in the Primary Savings account securing the credit limit, excessive cash advances, patterns inconsistent with normal consumer spending
International Friendly
This card works well for international travel and transactions.
Additional Issuer Rules
The DCU Visa® Platinum Secured Credit Card carries no welcome bonus and no churning-relevant restrictions, as it is a secured credit-building product rather than a rewards card. Approval is primarily contingent on DCU membership in good standing and having sufficient funds in a DCU Primary Savings account to secure the desired credit limit; credit score is a secondary factor. DCU does not publish formal application frequency restrictions, and responsible use of this card may qualify the cardholder for a future upgrade to an unsecured DCU credit card product.
Military & Hardship
MLA Compliant
Complies with the Military Lending Act (36% APR cap for active duty servicemembers).
SCRA Benefits
6% APR cap on pre-service balances during active duty per federal SCRA requirements; given DCU's already low maximum APR of 18%, the SCRA cap provides meaningful rate reduction protection for pre-service balances
