Good credit pays off. Even if you’re not planning to borrow money to make a large purchase (like a house), good credit may qualify you for better insurance rates, help you avoid paying security deposits when you sign up for new cell phone service or utilities, or even help you negotiate a better rate on a vacation rental.  The information we're sending this month not only outlines some of the benefits of great credit, it also provides ways to improve it.
