How to Improve Your Credit Score with WyHy
Your credit score plays a significant role in your financial wellness, affecting your ability to secure loans, credit cards, and favorable interest rates. WyHy offers practical tips to help you improve your credit score:
- Monitor Your Credit Report: Monitoring your credit report allows you to spot any inaccuracies or potential issues early on. WyHy can help you understand your credit report and dispute errors.
- Ensure Timely Payments: Late payments can negatively impact your credit score. Set up reminders or automatic payments through WyHy’s online banking system to ensure timely payments.
- Lower Your Credit Usage: Aim to use less than 30% of your available credit to maintain a healthy credit score. WyHy can help you review your spending habits to keep this ratio in check.
