You can use your Deserve® EDU Mastercard for Students anywhere vendors accept Mastercard. That includes stores located outside of the United States. One of the ways you can do this is through Deserve’s Mobile app. All you need to do is to enable the International Transactions toggle in the app. Alternatively, you can call Deserve’s help center at 1-800-418-2362 and they will help you with that.

A secured card requires cardholders to have a deposit account that secures the credit card. Usually, this deposit must be of around 100% to 200% of the credit limit you are aiming for. The Deserve® EDU Mastercard for Students does not require any form of security deposit from its cardholders. Therefore, this is an unsecured card.

Unfortunately, Deserve does not accept formal requests for credit line increases at the moment. They do, however, keep track and continuously analyze the performance of cardholders, and after some time these increases may be extended to them. To increase your chances of getting this credit increase, use your card regularly, pay your balance on time and in full, do not exceed your credit limit and link it to your bank account. The issuer will notify you by email once you have met the requirements.
