Why hasn't my credit score gone up?

While changes to your credit score aren’t guaranteed, if your credit score hasn’t gone up, it may just be a matter of timing. It can take a few weeks for credit bureaus to process reports, so you might not see the changes for a few weeks. 

To build your credit history, keep paying all of your recurring bills and monthly Credit Builder balances on time. You can stay on top of your payments by having Safer Credit Building toggled on. Using this feature, your card automatically pays off your balance every month with money you transfer into your secured account.
