How does Credit Sense keep my financial information secure?

The security of our members' financial information is our top priority. Boulder Dam Credit Union has partnered with a third-party, SavvyMoney®, to deliver members' credit scores through Credit Sense. SavvyMoney® applies its own security measures to Credit Sense using industry-standard security practices to protect your data.

Is Credit Sense an actual credit report?

No. Credit Sense shows your credit score from TransUnion using the VantageScore credit scoring model, which ranges from 300 - 850, along with key factors from your credit report that impact your score. The VantageScore credit scoring model was developed collaboratively by the three major credit bureaus, therefore it seeks to make score information more uniform between the three bureaus to provide consumers with a better picture of their credit health. Credit Sense does not include an actual credit report. You may request a full credit report annually - at no cost - from each of the three credit reporting bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion) at www.annualcreditreport.com.

How often is my credit score updated in Credit Sense?

Credit Sense will automatically update your score once a month. You can update it more frequently by clicking "update" on the page that presents your score.

Will Boulder Dam Credit Union use Credit Sense's credit score to make loan decisions?

No. At Boulder Dam Credit Union, we have our own lending criteria, based on a full credit report, for making loan decisions and we do not have access to your Credit Sense credit score.

What if the information provided by Credit Sense appears to be wrong or inaccurate?

Should you find inaccuracies in your Credit Sense account information, such as loans that aren't yours or inaccurate balances, there is a link within Credit Sense to file a dispute with TransUnion, the credit bureau that provides Credit Sense its information. To further protect yourself from credit inaccuracies and to identify potential fraud, we recommend that you request one free credit report from each of the three credit bureaus annually at www.annualcreditreport.com. Each bureau has its own process for correcting inaccurate information. The Federal Trade Commission's website offers step-by-step instructions if you would like to contact the bureaus to correct errors.
