The Ambition Mastercard® from College Ave is the new way for students to pay for purchases during college – from textbooks to takeout and Lyft rides to laptops. Using it every day can help your student build a positive credit history without the risk of traditional credit card debt.

Here’s how the Card works:  

  • Transfer money from any existing checking account to set the spending limit. 

  • Use the card for everyday purchases – everywhere Mastercard is accepted. 

  • On-time payments are reported to the three major credit bureaus. 

And don’t forget, your student earns cash back on everything they buy.

Why a Secured Credit Card is Right for Your Student 

Road2College Founder Debbie Schwartz explains how this financial tool can set the right financial foundation for your child.
