WyHy helps you improve your credit score, which can have a huge impact on your financial health. Follow these tips to boost your score:
- Monitor Your Credit Report: Review your credit report often to catch errors or discrepancies early. WyHy assists in understanding and disputing issues.
- Ensure Timely Payments: Late payments can negatively impact your credit score. Set up reminders or automatic payments through WyHy’s online banking system to ensure timely payments.
