FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who can enroll in CreditWise?
Anybody can get CreditWise, even if you're not a Capital One customer. You need to be over the age of 18 with a valid social security number that can be matched to a credit profile from the TransUnion credit bureau.
What info do I need to have handy when I sign up?
To sign up, we'll ask you for some basic personal information. Next, we'll have you confirm some information to protect your identity. Then you'll set up your account to make sure you can access CreditWise, even if you forget your password. If you're a current Capital One customer, you can use your existing online credentials to access CreditWise.
Will using CreditWise hurt my credit score?
It won’t. You can use all of CreditWise's features without hurting your credit score.
What’s on your credit report?
1The score provided in the CreditWise tool is calculated using the TransUnion® VantageScore® 3.0 model, which is one of many scoring models. Your CreditWise score is a good measure of your overall credit health, but it is not likely to be the same score used by creditors. The availability of the CreditWise tool depends on our ability to obtain your credit history from TransUnion. Some monitoring and alerts may not be available to you if the information you enter at enrollment does not match the information in your credit file at (or you do not have a file at) one or more consumer reporting agencies.
2Alerts are based on changes to your TransUnion and Experian® credit reports and information we find on the dark web.
3The CreditWise Simulator provides an estimate of your score change and does not guarantee how your score may change.
4If you have an outdated browser, your connection to CreditWise (and most other sites) might not be secure. We recommend that you update your browser to a version that supports 128-bit encryption and secure sockets layer version 3.0 or higher.
