How Do I Build My Credit Score?

Being new to the financial side of life, you likely have no or little credit to support a favorable credit rating yet. Having a good credit score will help whenever you need to apply for credit in the future – for a new or used car loan, home mortgage, credit card, and more. Consider JBT’s proactive way to possibly help build your credit – the JBT Credit Builder Loan.

JBT’s Credit Builder program is a combination loan and savings program that may help you establish a good payment history, an important step in building a higher credit score. This program, along with your plan to reduce other obligations, may positively impact your credit score over time.
