It's unlikely that a bank will give you a credit card as the main criteria for one is the ability to pay it back. You could get a prepaid credit card were you can only spend money you lodge to the card first. Also many places will accept a debit card instead.

hey all
is there any bank in ireland or abroad(apply from ireland??) that offer a secured credit card where you give the bank say 20000 euro and then you receive a credit card with that amount

or is there a recommendation for any solicitors that can aquire me a credit card with no employment ???

Any particular reason why you need one that a debit card wouldn't be able to be used for instead, car rental is the only thing that comes to mind and there's providers who will accept debit cards. If you want a loan get one from a credit union at a much cheaper rate.

I got rid of my credit card purely because I do not use it. I use my debit card for nearly everything. The only time I use a credit card if for one Dublin Hotel and I use a prepaid credit card for that.
