Check Your Credit Score Now with These Apps

For some of us, money is a taboo topic. Some credit score apps offer a free service for the responsible bunch that desire to check it regularly. Others prefer the consistency of having their report sent monthly — and those plans do require payment. However, you can get a free annual report from the three major credit bureaus. Whatever the method, using a credit score app doesn’t have to be a hassle. Here are a few that will help you to find out your current score, so that you’re prepared for signing a new lease or buying a new car.

Remember to stay secure with DFNDR’s Security Scan feature. Downloading any app that handles money should be executed with caution, so click the button below to ensure the protection of your Android:

Credit Sesame

Credit Sesame is another option. It includes a “home buyer” feature for those in the market for a new house, and your credit score can be checked for free at any time. Credit Sesame also provides updates on what you qualify for, in terms of mortgages and credit cards, and will explain any aspect of your status that you have questions about. It requires Android 4.1 and up and starts at $1.00 to download, with more features available for purchase.

FICO Credit Score

We can all use some solid credit advice from time to time, and the credit tycoons at FICO want to help you, with this app. For a fee, users can view their credit score and understand where it’s at. From there, the app offers solutions and alternative methods of adjusting your credit score to fit your style of banking.

Your Bank’s Credit App

Lest we forget everyone’s original source of credit. Often, major banking chains have their own app available to check credit scores with, which is an advantage to those looking for simplicity in their money endeavors.
