Indigo Mastercard Review
The Indigo Mastercard is aimed at those with poor credit, no credit history, or even those who've declared bankruptcy, which means it’s easier to get approved for than other cards.
Credit card knowledge – how to avoid and manage debt, build credit, optimize rewards and bonuses – is an integral part of financial literacy today. While it can be a bit daunting, learning the ins and outs of credit cards is worth it to help create a solid budget and strong financial foundation.
