Q: What is a credit score?

A credit score is a three-digit number that shows lenders how you’ve handled credit in the past. It’s built from your payment history, how much of your available credit you’re using, how long you’ve had your accounts open, and any recent credit activity. Your age, income, marital status, job, and bank balances play no part in it. For the full breakdown: see the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s credit score explainer .

Q: What is a good credit score?

A stronger credit score opens doors. It can make loans and credit cards easier to qualify for, and it can help you land a better interest rate, which adds up to real savings over time. Better credit simply means more options.

Q: What is VantageScore®?

SavvyMoney shows your VantageScore® 4.0, a scoring model used by many banks and credit unions. Scores range from 300 to 850: the higher the number, the stronger your credit health.

Your Credit Score at Your Fingertips

You've probably heard that checking your credit score too often is bad, but that's not the case. What many people get confused by is the difference between hard and soft credit checks. Checking your own score is a soft inquiry, which means it has zero impact on your credit. Hard inquiries happen when you apply for things like loans or credit cards. That's why regularly monitoring your credit is one of the smartest financial habits you can build.
