The other day, Aisha took the plunge and bought a new sofa. Before making the purchase, she decided on two things. First, not to drain her savings and instead look for a new credit card offer—one with a low interest rate or 0% intro APR on new purchases. Second, to check her credit score to see what her chances were to be approved for a new credit card. By verifying her credit score, Aisha was able to make an informed decision about her purchase and get the best credit card offer.
If you review and understand your credit score, like Aisha did, you've taken the first step toward financial peace of mind. That information can help you make better decisions about your spending, borrowing, and savings practices.
With this knowledge you can also take proactive steps to stay on top of your credit score, paving the way for a more secure financial future.
