Ready to improve your credit score?
Rounding it up
A credit score is a number between 300 and 900 that indicates how good you are at handling debt. It’s important when you want to rent an apartment or open a line of credit.
The first step to improving your credit score is knowing it. Use apps like Borrowell to find out your score for free. And don’t worry, checking it won’t hurt it.
It’s also crucial you pay your bills on time and limit the number of inquiries into your credit.
Try to build a good history by sticking with one or two credit cards for the long haul, and aim to use less than 30% of the limit on these cards.
