There are better secured credit cards available, spend a few moments to find them. First Progress cards don't have a chip or NFC and cannot be added to Apple or Google Wallet. The physical card looks like it's from the year 2000. FP closed my account and I didn't even notice at first because I never use it. Getting my deposit back to about a month, and I had to be persistent.

Sorry to hear you were not happy with your account or card. Thank you for trying the First Progress credit card.

They charge late fees even when the payment is received on time. Then the customer service team acts incompetent and says they can't help. Update to the reply: Yes, I can read. My payment shows as posted to the account, each month, 10 days before the due date. And each month, 10 days after the payment has POSTED, you hit me with a $41 late fee. I'm sending in payments via check, 2 weeks before the due date, and you still hit me with late fees. Fix it. I have a lawyer working on this.

Piece of $h1t app and the website isn't any better. I get the impression that FirstProgress makes a fair amount of their revenue from payments customers couldn't pay as opposed to didn't pay. Word of advice... Don't use this company's credit unless you have no other options. They are without a doubt predatory. So glad I only have this card for more overall credit limit and only use it to buy a Big Gulp every few months. Try Mission Lane or Mercury Card. Way better companies for a starter card.
