Yes. Credit Score and More will monitor and send email alerts when there has been a change to your credit profile.

Credit Score and More is entirely free to Pyramid Federal Credit Union members.

Credit Score and More is a "soft inquiry" which does not affect a credit score. Lenders use "hard inquiries" to make decisions about creditworthiness when you apply for loans.

The credit score will be updated every seven days and displayed in mobile and online banking. You can click "refresh score" as offen as every day for an updated credit score.

Credit Score and More make it best to show the most relevant information from a credit report. If you think some information is wrong or inaccurate, you can obtain a free credit report from www.annualcreditreport.com and then dispute inaccuracies with each bureau individually. Each bureau has its process for correcting inaccurate information, but every Pyramid Federal Credit Union Credit Score and More member can "File a Dispute" with Transunion by clicking on the "Dispute" link within Credit Score and More. Transunion will share this with the other bureaus if the inaccuracy is verified.

Three major credit-reporting bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and Transunion) and two scoring models (FICO or VantageScore) determine credit scores. Financial institutions use different bureaus, as well as their own scoring models. Over 200 credit report factors may be considered when calculating a score, and each model may weigh credit factors differently, so no scoring model is identical.

Pyramid Federal Credit Union uses its own lending criteria for making loan decisions.
