When you want to borrow money or apply for a credit card, your FICO® score will help the lender determine how trustworthy you are when it comes to repaying money. Your interest rate will determine how much you'll pay to borrow money or access a line of credit. The higher your FICO® score, the lower your rate and the more money you'll save on interest. Even when you rent an apartment or apply for a job, landlords and employers will check your score to get a sense of how responsible you are with money.
To offer more help, we produced these quick videos that explain details about your credit report and score so you can establish good habits that will strengthen your foundation.
