Why didn’t my instant loan increase my credit score?

Credit bureaus may take a few weeks to update your report after Chime submits your loan activity at the start of each month.

Building credit takes time, so keep making on-time payments to see positive changes over time. Remember, missed payments can hurt your score, and credit scores are based on multiple factors beyond just your loan activity.
