Credit Scores: Understanding & Improving

Just like trust, credit scores are hard to navigate, easy to damage, and harder still to repair.

But what is a credit score? Is it the same as a credit report? What factors contribute to it, and what’s the difference between “good” credit and “bad”?

See what your credit score is, get a free copy of your credit report, and find the answers to these questions while gaining a fuller understanding of your credit with our free credit monitoring service!

Budgets: Building One That Works for You

More and more people are living paycheck-to-paycheck, so the ability to not just make but stick to a budget has become more necessary than ever.

So we’re providing a free, interactive budgeting tool to help you learn the basics of budgeting, balancing monthly income against expenses, and how to make your financial goals more attainable.

With a thorough breakdown of common budget factors, analysis by category, and multiple, informative videos to explore, making your budget will be a breeze. And sticking to it will be even easier.

Free Quiz: Your Money Personality

Wondering why a financial education page has a personality quiz? It’s a fair question!

Money management and personal finances are more than simple “dos and don’ts.” There are deep, psychological factors that contribute to how each and every one of us approaches, understands, and even feels about money.

Knowing the basics is an incredible start, but getting to how your personality and beliefs around money impacts your spending habits, ability to save, and influence your goals can make the difference between surviving and thriving.
