Bad Credit and No Credit History
Credit unions generally serve only their members and are not-for-profit financial cooperatives. If you are
qualified to be a member of Florida Commerce Credit Union, but have a bad credit history, you can still
apply for their credit cards. However, their regular credit cards may not be extended to you. Your interest rate
may be higher, your credit may have to be secured by a savings account, or you may be required to have a guarantor.
All of these conditions may be applied to you. The same may go for a member with no credit history. More
importantly, however, is that there is an open avenue for you to repair your bad credit standing - better than
nothing!
