How to improve a credit score

Our new credit score tool can help you learn more about improving your score. This beneficial tool also has a section of advice and information from financial expert, Jean Chatzky.

phone displaying Savvy MoneyA few tips to get you started:

  • Payment History: Pay your bills on time.
  • Credit Usage: Don’t keep a high balance on credit cards. Also don’t open new cards just to increase your available limit.
  • Total Balances: Keep a diverse mix of debt accounts. A mix of installment and revolving accounts is better than having only one type of debt.
  • Credit Age: Don’t open too many accounts too quickly. Keep your oldest account open, if you can. Also, don’t close unused cards.
  • Recent Credit: Do not open too many accounts in a short span.

Bill Pay

Bill Pay

Remembering to pay your bills on time can be a pain. One late payment can affect your credit score negatively, and cost you more money in late fees. To make your life a little easier, we offer free online bill pay to our members. Pay all of your bills in one spot, without ever having to leave your couch.

Bill Pay can be found on your online banking page from your computer or our mobile app. First, you will need to set up your “payees,” or who we will be sending your payments to. From there, you can set up reminders or automatic payments for the funds to come out of whichever account you choose. It’s that easy!

Financial Wellness
