Hi Catherine,

I was able to get an Ollo card when my credit wasn’t so hot. I’d had a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2015 and no one would touch me credit-wise and to be fair, I didn’t want another card either. But I’d read about the Ollo Mastercard via Credit Karma and decided to apply.

Here’s a helpful link for you-

Hi Catherine,

I went through a Chapter 7 about 5 years ago and no one wanted to touch me, in terms of credit cards. I was able to acquire an Ollo card which was recommended by Credit Karma and had good ratings over there. Ollo is not a known brand, it’s not like Capital One or something of that nature but they are good for folks who might want to start over. I paid off my balances with them each time and always way ahead of time which also helped my credit score. I think that when I first got the Ollo Mastercard, it was late 2018 and if I recall correctly, my score was in the high 600s to maybe 700.

It was also recommended to me to also get a secured credit card through my bank. This is where you’d put up a set amount of money. I think with my bank, it was $300 but I was just never able to save that much so I didn’t do it.

Here’s a link where you can learn more about the Ollo card-
