Canada’s best credit cards for people with bad credit 2022

– moneysense.ca

Conventional wisdom may lead you to believe that if you have bad credit, you should swear off credit cards. However, if you want to improve your credit score, you’ll have to prove you can handle credit responsibly, and one way to do that is—you guessed it—to have a credit card. When used responsibly, having and using a credit card can actually be a helpful tool to assist in rebuilding bad credit. While a low credit score might limit which credit card you can qualify for, luckily, there are a whole host of products catered to people in this situation. These cards often come with higher interest rates and lower spending limits; however, they can be a good starting point to re-establishing a respectable credit score. This in turn will help you get approved down the line for loans, a line of credit or even a mortgage. Some of these cards even earn you rewards, too.
