A place to explore secured credit cards
Many are on their own for the first time and long for the independence and freedom of adulthood. For some, student credit cards offer the promise of instant gratification and new spending power. Some lawmakers, student groups and university administrations are taking steps to reel in marketing behaviors they feel are predatory to financially inexperienced students. Rutgers University banned companies from marketing student credit cards on its campus several years ago. Some universities are considering less drastic measures to reign in behaviors that push student credit cards, as state lawmakers discuss ways to help them do that.
