About Student Credit Cards

Tertiary debit cards also offer the same benefits as a credit card, but usually with the added benefits of no annual fee, 0% interest and no transaction fees. The downside is that this is usually limited to a credit limit of $1,000 to $2,000.

Some students may be eligible to apply for a standard credit card even if they do not earn an income if their application is countersigned by an adult with a good credit rating and a steady income. If you choose to apply for a standard credit card, a low interest rate and no-annual fee credit card might be suitable for you.
