Your credit score plays a big role in how lenders determine your interest rates
and how much you can borrow. Maintaining a good credit score can be the
key to getting the things
you want in life,
from a credit card or a car loan to
a
home mortgage.
Turbo provides you with an easy-to-read breakdown of your
credit score and updates it once a month, making it simple to
see where you stand today. And with Turbo you can view your
credit report at any time, without it impacting
your credit score.
IMPROVING YOUR SCORE
Getting a copy of your credit report is the first step toward improving your credit score.
Here’s a few additional tips that could give your score an additional boost.
Pay your bills on time,
every timePast payment performance significantly affects your credit score. By paying all of your bills on time every month you
can positively increase how lenders view your future
payment performance.Keep credit cards open –
even the unused onesConsider keeping credit cards open – even if you aren’t using them. So long as they don’t have annual fees, keeping those cards open could actually keep your credit utilization ratio lower, and improve your
credit score.Improve your
credit utilizationYour credit utilization ratio is calculated by adding all of your credit card balances and dividing that number by your total credit limit. Typically, lenders like to see ratios below 30%. By paying off debt and keeping
your credit card balances low
you can positively impact your credit
utilization ratio.Only apply for
new credit
cards
when neededWhen you open new credit cards you trigger hard credit inquiries on your
credit report. Opening new credit card accounts just to have a better credit mix won’t likely improve your score. So only use the credit that you currently have, whenever possible.Check for incorrect information
on your credit reportCredit reports aren’t necessarily perfect, which is why it’s important to make sure there isn’t any inaccurate information on your credit report. If you see something on your credit report that doesn’t look right, you’ll want to dispute it with your credit report provider (e.g. TransUnion) as soon as possible
Increase your
credit limitsIf you have a good credit history with your lender, ask your credit card issuer if you can raise your credit limits. This will result in a soft credit check, which won’t impact your credit score. A credit card limit increase may help your credit utilization rate, which can help improve your score.
It depends on which credit score model is being used, as well as each lender’s credit criteria. In general, here’s a breakdown of how credit scores are typically viewed following a credit check:
- 720 and higher: excellent credit
- 690-720: good credit
- 630-689: fair credit
- 629 or lower: bad credit
The top three credit reporting agencies are:
- TransUnion
- Equifax
- Experian
The score provided by Turbo is a VantageScore based on TransUnion data.
Vantage and FICO are two different credit scoring models used by credit reporting agencies. Both rate your creditworthiness based on the same basic criteria, such as:
- Payment history
- Credit utilization
- Age of credit history
- Credit applications
- Types of credit
While there are some differences between the two, typically if you have a good VantageScore, you are more than likely to also have a good FICO score.
