This App Lets You Check And Monitor Your Credit Score For Free In Canada
If you haven't looked into your credit score before, Borrowell is allowing Canadians to do it for free with their credit score and report monitoring tool.
Understanding your credit score is something that's super important at any age, since having a good one is essential for making big purchases like a car or a house.
A credit score is a number between 300-850 that shows your creditworthiness — the higher you get scored the better. This number is based on your history, including open accounts, total debt, repayment history, and more.
The Borrowell app, available for download both on the App Store and Google Play, lets you sign up for free and track your score.
