If you are in the market for a new home, car or are trying to get a personal loan, there is one thing that you must know: your credit score. You may already know the importance of your credit score as it is determined by a report that contains all of your credit activities. The goal is have the best (highest) score possible in order to get the best rates. Here are a few simple tips that can help you boost your score:
1. Pay all of your bills on time. This one component makes up 35% of your credit score total. Take a moment today to look at all of your monthly due dates and write them down on a calendar You can set a reminder in your cell phone or on your computer to keep up with these dates as well. Also, if you are having trouble remembering when to pay which bill, take a moment to sign up for Bill Pay online to eliminate stress. If you commit to paying each bill on time, then your credit score will begin to show improvement.
2. Reduce your overall debt. Of course, your goal here is to strive to be debt free, but while you are making those payments, work on widening the gap. This gap is what you want to increase between your credit limit and the actual amount you owe for that card. The larger this gap is, the better your credit score will be.
3. Call in the experts. If you are unsure of where to start, then you may want to check out some resources. Here are some free online resources to help you improve your credit score or if you would like to chat with someone, feel free to stop by one of our branch locations.
Do you have any helpful tips for boosting your credit score? Please share your tips and thoughts with us! Be sure to check back next week for fun ideas for charitable giving instead of just writing a check.

Getting Credit Card Debt in Check
Spring Clean Your Finances: Getting Credit Card Debt in Check
You’re ready to get your house in order with spring cleaning, but are your finances in order as well? Maybe it’s time for a check in on your finances and some financial spring cleaning. One of the best ways to do this is to take control of credit card debt. The task of evaluating and then cleaning up your credit card debt can be a pain-free (well, almost!) process that will not only improve your credit score, but will also give you a sense of financial relief. Let the financial cleaning begin by following these four steps.
1. Calculate all of your credit card balances and their interest rates to understand where to start. To make this easier to manage, take a look at our free debt calculator.
2. Next, take a look at your spending habits and create a budget that includes your monthly credit card payments. The goal is to understand your spending habits and look at ways to reduce unnecessary spending (this extra money can be put toward paying off your credit card debt). Use this tool to easily calculate this information.
3. To see results quicker, a good rule of thumb is to pay the credit card with the highest interest rate off first. Aim to pay double the minimum payment each month.
4. To stay in control of your finances, read How to be Creditwise and More Ways to be Creditwise for great credit savvy tips.
Make it a priority to complete step #1 by the end of this week. Seeing your credit card debt on paper will be great encouragement to get started on the next step. If you have a tip for managing and eliminating credit card debt, then please share your advice. Check back next week for great tips on planning your retirement!
