Have you just started a new job and begun earning an income but haven't had a chance to build a credit score? If so, you might have a tough time getting a credit card. We understand it can be frustrating to wait months before you can start enjoying the benefits of having a Credit Card. But don't worry! There is a way for you to get your first premium Credit Card without income proof or a high credit score.

Secured Credit Card

One great option for you is to apply for a Secured Credit Card. A Secured Credit Card is a type of credit card where the borrower furnishes an asset to the bank as collateral. In simpler terms, a secured credit card is a type of credit card where you put money in a bank deposit as collateral.

The IDFC FIRST WOW! Credit Card is a deposit-backed premium credit card. If you have a fixed deposit with IDFC FIRST Bank, it can be linked to the FIRST WOW! Credit Card as a lien. Credit card limits are determined by the value of the linked FD. And the good news is that the linked FD continues to earn interest income while you use it!

So, if you have an FD with IDFC FIRST Bank, you can get your FIRST WOW! Credit Card immediately.

· You must be at least 18 years of age,

· You must have a fixed deposit in your name with IDFC FIRST Bank in cumulative/re-invest and auto-renewed mode,
