Credit Score Improvement Tips
Your credit score affects much more than just loans—it’s key to financial wellness. Here are tips from WyHy to help improve your score:
- Check Your Credit Report Regularly: Review your credit report often to catch errors or discrepancies early. WyHy assists in understanding and disputing issues.
- Pay Bills on Time: Late payments can negatively impact your credit score. Set up reminders or automatic payments through WyHy’s online banking system to ensure timely payments.
- Reduce Your Credit Utilization: Use less than 30% of your available credit to boost your score. WyHy can help you monitor and manage this ratio.
- Don’t Open Multiple Accounts: Resist the urge to open multiple credit accounts quickly, as this can hurt your score. Manage your current accounts well.
- Try a Credit Builder Loan: WyHy offers credit builder loans designed to help you establish or improve your credit history over time.
