3 Tips for Building Credit
Start with Small Credit
Begin by applying for a secured credit card or becoming an authorized user on someone else's card. Responsible use, like paying off balances in full and on time, helps establish a positive credit history.
Manage Your Credit Utilization
Keep your credit card balances low compared to your credit limits. Aim for a utilization rate below 30% to show lenders you're responsible with credit.
Diverse Credit Mix
Alongside credit cards, consider different types of credit, like an installment loan or a retail account. A diverse credit portfolio can demonstrate your ability to manage various financial responsibilities.
