But, rest assured: building credit is actually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rocket science at all. In fact, most of what you need to know can be summed up in this very article. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, let\u2019s get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/lender\/refresh-financial\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2308 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/apply-now-04.png\" alt=\"apply for online loans now\" width=\"190\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Goes Into A Credit Score?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exact formula for calculating your credit score is held under tight lock-and-key, but we generally know the gist of how it works. Here are the factors that are taken into account when determining your credit score number:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment history \u2014 35%<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amounts owed \u2014 30%<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Length of credit history 15%<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New credit \u2014 10%<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credit mix \u2014 10%<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you know these percentages, it\u2019s easier to understand what you need to do in order to boost your score and <\/span><b>build good credit.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s focus on specific things you can do within each of these categories. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ask to be an Authorized User on a Trusted Friend or Family Member\u2019s Credit Card<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s one way to build your credit quickly: ask to be an \u201cauthorized user\u201d on someone else\u2019s credit card.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that you aren\u2019t the account owner, but you do have permission to spend with a separate credit card, which the company will issue you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing this has two benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you\u2019ll get a credit card without having to apply for it on your own (a useful thing if you might be denied based on bad credit or a lack of credit history).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, that account \u2014 including its <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">entire<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> history, even before you were added on as an authorized user \u2014 will be added onto your credit report.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your friend or a family member has good credit, then suddenly it may look like you have good credit too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a really delicate thing to ask of your friend or family member. If you rack up credit card debt and don\u2019t pay it back, this will hurt that person\u2019s credit too. It\u2019s a big risk for them, and that\u2019s why this is such a big ask. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, you don\u2019t actually need to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">use<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the credit card in order to get the benefit from it. Everything your friend or family member does will typically be recorded on your credit report as well. In fact, if it makes that person feel more comfortable, you can offer to hand your newly-issued credit card over to them for safekeeping.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Open a Credit Card of Your Own<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the best \u2014 and least risky to other people \u2014 way to start building credit is by opening up <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/credit-cards\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your own credit card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are a few different places where you can get credit cards:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A bank<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A credit union or caisse populaire<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A merchant<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opening up a new credit card has several benefits for your credit score. You\u2019ll establish a credit history. The longer, the better, and everyone has to start somewhere. With a new card, you\u2019ll also establish a payment history. The more on-time payments you make, the higher your credit score will be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This new credit card will also add a new type of credit onto your account and this serves to help you build credit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/lender\/refresh-financial\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2308 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/apply-now-04.png\" alt=\"apply for online loans now\" width=\"190\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Take Out a Loan<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of new types of credit, it can also help your credit score to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/personal-loans-filter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> take out a new loan.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auto loans, student loans, personal loans, and mortgages all count as different types of credit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more types of credit you have listed on your report (i.e. the more types of loans you open), the higher your credit score will be over time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One huge caveat here is that it\u2019s best to wait until you actually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">need<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a loan before applying for one. Why? Because each loan costs money (via interest and fees).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, if you overextend yourself by taking on too much debt, you may default on your loan or make a late payment \u2014 and this will <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> hurt your credit score. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, if you\u2019ve been waiting to buy a car or make some other large purchase, now might be an opportune time so long as you are financially prepared to make the payments. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Make All of Your Payments On Time<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3103 size-large\" title=\"improve credit score by making monthly payments\" src=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/adolescent-beautiful-brunette-919436-700x502.jpg\" alt=\"improve credit score\" width=\"700\" height=\"502\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest factor on your credit report is your payment history. Lenders want to know one thing: will you pay them back in full, and make each payment on time?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each on-time payment will help you build your credit. On the flip-side, even a single late payment can lower your credit score. Even worse, missed payments can stay on your credit report for up to six years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One easy way to make sure you never miss a payment is to put all of your loan and credit card payments on autopay. This way, you never have to remember to do it \u2014 it just happens automatically, and protects you from getting a huge ding on your credit score.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/lender\/refresh-financial\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2308 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/apply-now-04.png\" alt=\"apply for online loans now\" width=\"190\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Don\u2019t Rack Up a Lot of Debt On Your Credit Card<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second-biggest factor that goes into calculating your credit score is the amount of money you owe. The less, the better &#8211; it\u2019s simple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, many experts advise keeping your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/c\/credit-utilization-rate.asp\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">credit utilization ratio<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> below 30%. This just means that you ideally owe less than 30% of your available credit limit, calculated across all of your credit cards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, let\u2019s say you have two credit cards, each with a $5,000 limit. Your total credit limit would then be $10,000. If you follow the 30% rule, it would be best to have no more than $3,000 in credit card debt (i.e. 30%) spaced out across one or both cards at a time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, an even better way to manage your debt is to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/blog\/personal-loans-debt-5-ways-to-be-brilliant-borrower\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pay off your credit card balance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in full at the end of each month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you pay off your entire balance before the bill is due, you won\u2019t owe any interest at all. This is like having a free short-term loan, plus free perks if you have a rewards credit card.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/lender\/refresh-financial\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2308 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/apply-now-04.png\" alt=\"apply for online loans now\" width=\"190\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Don\u2019t Close Your Old Credit Cards<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lenders like to see a long credit history because it usually means you\u2019ve been around the block a few times and know what you\u2019re doing when it comes to credit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OId credit cards help show lenders that you do have experience managing your credit card. When you go to close that old credit card, it\u2019s removed from your list of open accounts. All of a sudden it looks like you\u2019re a new credit user, even though <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> know you\u2019ve got the chops to manage using a credit card wisely. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why it\u2019s always a good idea to keep old credit card accounts open, if possible. The only exception would be if the credit card carries an annual fee, and you\u2019re not using it anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, the fee probably isn\u2019t worth it and it may be a better idea to save the cash and close the card. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bottom Line<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>How to build good credit<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shouldn\u2019t be a mystery. If you follow a few important rules, like always making your payments on time, avoiding too much debt (especially credit card debt), and establishing a long credit history, you\u2019ll be well on your way to a good credit score. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These tips will help optimize your credit-building journey so that you can build the best credit score possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/lender\/refresh-financial\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2308 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lendingarch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/apply-now-04.png\" alt=\"apply for online loans now\" width=\"190\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you hope to buy a house, rent an apartment, take out a car loan, or even get certain jobs, &#8230; <a title=\"How to Build Your Credit Score\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/bestlendersfor.ca\/how-to-build-your-credit-score\/\" aria-label=\"More on How to Build Your Credit Score\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":680,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[72,73],"class_list":["post-4791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-personal-finance","tag-building-good-credit","tag-credit-scores"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
