Why Credit matters
Learn why credit matters and how a good score can help grow your wealth…
You want a high credit score because it can save you thousands of dollars on interest and allow you to have lower monthly payments. When you apply for a credit card or loan, your financial institution looks at your credit score to determine your interest rate. The lower your score, the higher your interest rate. Your score tells lenders if you are a risk to make payments on the money you borrow.
Your credit score is broken down by the following:
- 35% – Payment history
- 30% – Amounts owed
- 15% – Length of credit history
- 10% – New credit
- 10% – Types of credit
Develop a plan and stick to it. One of the simplest ways of raising or maintaining your credit score is by making your payments on time. Keeping your balances on credit cards below 25% of your available limits can also boost your score. Keep inquires and new accounts to a minimum also. It can raise a red flag to the credit bureau if you open several new accounts within a short period of time. Conventional wisdom is that you are going to use those new accounts to borrow a lot of money which makes you a statistically higher risk.
Not everyone has poor credit because of missed payments. You might just be starting out and new to credit. College students, recent grads and young professionals for example. Tri-Lakes Federal Credit Union has options for you. Secured credit cards or secured loans are a good option for someone looking to rebuild or establish credit.
