Chase Credit Journey – free score, alerts, and score simulator
Chase's Credit Journey was designed to help consumers get the information they need to make financial decisions with confidence. Part of this means getting a free credit score, so they will get their VantageScore 3.0, which is provided by TransUnion.
The VantageScore 3.0 is based upon data that comes directly from actual credit reports, and every week the information is refreshed, so they can keep up to date with changes in their score. They also get alerts letting them know if there are any issues. They also get the analysis of their credit score, and if they are wondering where they stand in comparison with other Americans they can get that information too.
Chase has also set up a Score Simulator, which offers people a way to test drive certain financial decisions and actions to see how they affect their credit score, so they know ahead of time where their choices may take them and their score.
People will also get a summary of key aspects of their credit score picture, including their total credit balance and credit utilization rate, as well as their late payment report spanning all credit accounts.
Graphs and tailored insights
While on the site people can also look at their credit score history via an easy-to-use graph. It starts with their credit score on the day they register, and keeps going in twelve month intervals.
They can also get insights into the factors that go into creating their credit score tailored just for them, all designed to assist them with managing their financial wellness.
