It is possible, even with bad credit to obtain a credit card. These cards will come with some restrictions not typically found on other types of credit cards. Your credit limit will be lower and your interest rate higher. Some may require you to have a secured credit card, meaning you have to maintain a savings or some other type of account that will cover the expenses on the credit card. Once you have established that you will be responsible, some, if not all, of your restrictions may be lifted.
