Check Your Credit Score for Free!

Hello Hampton Roads,

Have you checked your credit score lately? Having good credit helps you get better interest rates for not only a mortgage if you are buying a home, but also for car loans, credit cards, and insurance.  If you know your score you'll have a better idea of where you stand when it comes to borrowing money and if you find that your score isn't where you need it to be, you can work to improve it!

Check out this informative article about credit score range from CreditZeal.

Your credit scores come from the 3 credit rating bureaus which are Equifax, Experian and TransUnion and the higher the number, the better the credit risk you are for a lender.

There are several places where you can check your credit online for free and several credit card companies also offer this complimentary service to their customers.  Check out these resources below:


  • Your credit card may even show you your score. For example, Discover card shows you your FICO score that is updated monthly and taken from your TransUnion report.  
  • CreditKarma.com is a site which will show you your score based on your TransUnion report
  • Credit Sesame shows you a your monthly score based on your Experian report and also allows for free credit monitoring.
  • Quizzle is a site that gives you your score based on your Equifax report.
