Entry for a GIC used as a security deposit for a nee credit card

We are a new company. We are using a GIC as a security deposit for a new corporate credit card. Which accounts would I use to record this?

    The GIC is only used for security for the CC Issuer, you still own it.

    I create an Asset account under Investments for the GIC. In the name of the account I shown the issuer plus other information similar to this RBC-GIC-5yrFix-2027-06(CC). The last part (CC) is to show it is tied to the Credit Card. I then treat the credit card as any other with a Liability account of its own.
