How often is my credit score updated?

As long as you are a regular online banking user, your credit score will be updated every month and displayed in your online banking screen. You can click “refresh score” as frequently as every day by navigating to the detailed Credit Sense site from within Online Banking.

How is my credit score determined?

There are three major credit-reporting bureaus – Equifax, Experian and Transunion – and two scoring models – FICO or VantageScore – that determine credit scores.

No matter what credit bureau or credit scoring model is used, consumers do fall into specific credit ranges:

  • Excellent 781–850
  • Good 661-780
  • Fair 601-660
  • Unfavorable 501-600
  • Bad Below 500
Will Credit Sense share my credit score with First National Bank Bemidji?

Credit Sense is a free service to help you understand your credit health, make improvements in your score and save money on your loans with First National Bank Bemidji. While your specific score is not shared, credit score range data may be used for marketing purposes by First National Bank Bemidji only.
