Financial Guidance & Budgeting

Come in to review your credit report, and we’ll share helpful advice at no charge.

And for everyday credit monitoring, we’ve made it even easier for you to stay informed with SavvyMoney’s Credit Score, a free tool built right into online and mobile banking. With one powerful tool, you can check your credit score daily, review your full credit report, and receive real-time alerts about any major changes to your credit activity. It’s a simple way to keep an eye on your financial health, on your own terms.

You’ll also get personalized financial tips, educational resources, and even a Credit Score Simulator that helps you see how actions like paying off a card or opening a loan might impact your score. SavvyMoney also provides you with a Credit Score Action Plan tailored to your financial situation, giving you a clear path toward improving your score over time.

And if you’re exploring loan options, the tool offers special credit offers customized to your profile, so you can take advantage of rates and products that work best for you.

Best of all, using SavvyMoney is completely free and checking your score through the tool will never impact your credit. It’s just one more way we’re here to help you make confident, informed decisions every step of the way.

Plus, take advantage of free online financial guidance from our partners at GreenPath, including an education platform called LearningLab+ which can help you learn about personal finance at your own pace and help you build healthy habits.
