A good credit score can help you…
Get your dream home
A high credit score can help strengthen your mortgage application. If you’re renting, property owners often look at your credit score to determine how reliable you are when paying bills.
Choose the credit card you want
Having a high score may help you get approved for credit cards with higher limits, lower rates and better rewards.
What contributes to your credit score?
Here are some factors that affect your credit score:

Here are 4 ways to build your credit
1. Pay all your bills on time
By paying your amount owed on time and consistently, your credit score may steadily rise. An easy way to pay bills is by setting up automated payments, at your bank or directly with the biller, so you never miss a payment.
2. Apply for different types of credit
Getting a mortgage, applying for a line of credit or personal loan, if managed responsibly, may be individual opportunities that may allow your credit score to rise.
3. Check your credit report for any errors
You should view your full credit report so that there are no errors. You can view your full credit report by using BMO CreditView.
4. Pay credit card payments on time
It's important that you make on-time payments on your credit card as this may have a positive impact on your credit score.
