Do these types of credit cards help build credit? are they reported on a monthly basis? thanks.
HI jhose, Yes these cards do help build credit and are a good place to start building credit. Yes these cards are reported just like any other credit card on a monthly basis.
Hi jhose!
Welcome to forums!
Secured credit cards are a great way of building your credit score. As Gary has informed you, payments on these credit cards are reported on a monthly basis. Are you planning to improve your credit score? In that case, you can check out the following page:

You'll find a number of simple steps to improve your credit score in that page.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

jhose, please seek such a card from a local bank or credit union. do not seek them out online from the companies that tout them there. you'll find that the major banks that do these cards on a national basis will charge exorbitant fees that will put you at or very close to your credit limit almost immediately.
better to do business with someone local who has a feel for you, a feel for their customers and a bit of compassion.
