2 Secured Credit Card vs. Unsecured Credit Card
When you get a toWealth Credit Card, you also get a Security Deposit Account (aka the “Savings Account”). The Savings Account is an interest earning savings account that doubles as your Security Deposit. The Savings Account is opened for you at The Bank of Missouri, member FDIC. To start, toWealth deposits $5 into your Savings Account to establish it, then you will receive a toWealth credit card which begins with an unsecured limit (up to $2,500). Your Credit Card starts out Secured by the $5 provided by toWealth, making it a Secured Credit Card. However, unlike traditional Secured Credit Cards, you receive an unsecured limit (up to $2,500) upon issuance of your Card. Funds in your Savings Account are subject to severe limits on withdrawal while there is a balance on your Credit Card Account.
3 Savings Account Rates, Terms and FDIC Insurance
As of February 1, 2025, the Savings Account has an Annual Percentage Yield (“APY”) of 3.07% on balances. The APY is not guaranteed and is variable.

You will be responsible for monitoring the total amount of deposits that you hold with The Bank of Missouri to determine the extent of FDIC deposit insurance coverage is available to you.
