Boost My Score
Pathways to Homeownership Start Here: Build Your Credit and Unlock Your Future Home.
Three tools that work together: one adds positive credit fast, one counts bills you already pay, and one shows exactly what to pay down to hit your number.
Open a credit-builder card
The quickest way to put positive credit on your report. It shows up within about a week, then keeps reporting your on-time payments up to 6 times a month.
Add bills you already pay with Experian Boost
Connect your bank account at experian.com/boost and add on-time payments that don't normally count towards your credit.
Experian Boost is free and affects your Experian credit file and FICO® Score 8 only. Not all lenders use Experian. Results vary, and some people see no change.
Track it all with SmartCredit credit monitoring
SmartCredit is the credit monitoring every applicant uses. It's a soft pull, so it checks all three bureaus without lowering your score, and it lets you and your professional track your credit and raise it without expensive credit pulls.
Our suggestion:stay on credit monitoring until you've moved into your new home. After that, keep it or cancel — your choice.
