Velocity credit card holders have free access to FICO® Scores

Velocity Credit Union credit card holders can now access their FICO® Scores at no charge through monthly statements and online banking. FICO® Scores will be refreshed on a quarterly basis and checking them will not affect credit ratings.

FICO® Scores are widely used by lenders in evaluating risk when making credit-related decisions. Credit cards, auto loans and insurance, and mortgage rates can be affected by credit scores. Knowledge is power, and knowing this three-digit FICO® Score (and the key factors affecting it) can help consumers see how lenders view them.

Free access to FICO® Scores is easy since they will appear on members’ monthly statements. Or, cardholders can simply log into Online Banking at http://www.velocitycu.com (or through our free mobile app), select “Credit Card Services” from the “Services” category of the Home Page menu, and click the “FICO® SCORE” banner on the right side of the screen. Selecting a card number will reveal the score.
