What is a credit score?

A credit score is a three-digit number that lenders use as a reference point when you apply for any type of loan or credit product.


Why is it important to keep your credit score high?

A higher credit score may make it easier to qualify for a loan and may also result in a better interest rate. Visit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to learn more about credit reports and scores. 


How do I obtain a free credit report?

Under federal law, you are entitled to obtain a free copy of your credit report once a year. Visit www.annualcreditreport.com for more information.
