Say Hello to Free Credit Monitoring with CreditWise

Credit monitoring works regularly on your behalf to review your credit report and automatically alert you to changes that could be a result of suspicious activity. Of course, you can always check and monitor your credit reports and scores yourself. But fraudulent activity can happen any time and getting a prompt alert when that happens—instead of finding out about it months after the fact—can help you minimize and repair damage faster.

Keeping an eye on your credit report can help you gain a broader understanding of your general credit health as well as spot issues that could indicate fraud or identity theft, which could affect your credit score. Getting a prompt alert about suspicious activity can help you quickly address the problem and protect your finances. Even when you don’t get credit fraud alerts, you can still check your CreditWise report whenever you’d like, keeping track of any changes to your credit score.

Credit monitoring services can save you a lot of money, but they don’t have to cost much. With CreditWise, you can enroll for free.

CreditWise from Capital One is credit monitoring and much, much more. In addition to monitoring your credit, CreditWise scans the dark web for your Social Security number and email address, alerting you to potential identity theft and fraudulent activity in your name. CreditWise also includes a simulator tool that can explore the potential impact of your financial decisions before you make them.
