Thanks for the heads-up, Alexandre ❗

TransUnion credit scores are also available Free for Capital One CC holders, as well.

Maybe I should use my Tangerine CC account to check my TransUnion score (865) through there. In theory, it should be the same ... but maybe Not. sf-smile

We can all get TransUnion (867) scores via Credit Karma and Equifax (851) scores via Borrowell.

For those of us without debts, bragging rights.

For those with debts, the ability to get more debt ...

A bit more seriously, a 'higher' credit score is kinda necessary to sign a lease nowadays and to get the best possible borrowing rates. It also seems some FI's want 'higher' credit scores for new deposit account holders. I just can't define 'higher'...

My house insurance guy said a high credit score reduces your house insurance premiums. True? False? Maybe?

Select More in the bottom right corner of the main screen, and in the new window one of tiles in the left bottom corner will be "Credit Score."

I was an early TNG MC client. Within 6 months I had 3 different numbers because they kept getting compromised. I terminated my account.

I've had credit cards since 1972. The TNG MC was the only one ever compromised. I'm not getting another one ...

    'True' ⬆

At least for my wife & I, through Intact Insurance.

Others may differ,

I can see why/how loan/mortgage rates could depend on credit rating. But, why insurance premiums? Trying to understand the logic...

The TransUnion credit score chart ranges from 300 to 900. Scores between 700 & 800 are considered quite Good, and scores above 800 are considered Excellent.

Apparently, it shows you are a responsible person who takes care of your property.

Good question

I worked in the insurance business for a good number of years, as a Commercial Underwriter. I'll try to explain . . .

Insurance companies have always wanted to know what 'Type' of person/company they are about to insure (or are insuring). By adding your credit rating to their knowledge of you, they get a much better picture of 'Who' you are.

In short ... if you where an insurance company, would you want to insure a Financial Deadbeat?

Hope that helps,

    Dean
