Everence® Federal Credit Union added Credit Score to mobile and online banking, making it easier than ever to stay on top of your credit.

  • Daily access to your credit score
  • Real time credit monitoring alerts
  • Credit score simulator

This new feature displays within mobile and online banking dashboards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does my credit score get updated?

Your credit score is updated every seven days within the Credit Score feature in mobile and online banking. You may also refresh your credit score and full report every 24 hours by clicking “Refresh Score” and navigating to the detailed Credit Score dashboard within mobile and online banking.

What if the information provided by Credit Score appears to be inaccurate?

Each credit bureau has its process for correcting inaccurate information, or you can file a dispute by clicking on the "Dispute" link within the Credit Score credit report.

Will enrolling or accessing Credit Score 'ping' my credit and potentially lower my credit score?

No. Checking your credit score on Credit Score is a "soft inquiry" which does not affect your credit score.

Will this score be used when you apply for loans with Everence Federal Credit Union?

No, we use our lending criteria when making final loan decisions and have no access to Credit Score's information. However, SavvyMoney Analytics can see what offers users view and engage with.
