Monthly Blogs

  • How Credit Reports and Scores Can Affect the Cost of Your Insurance: Without a strong, positive, credit-based insurance score, an insurance policy applicant may only be offered policies with higher premiums or a higher monthly rate to pay. To the insurer, the lower credit score of a potential policyholder means that they are an increased risk for making claims, and consequently they must pay more money to the insurance company to offset the likelihood of future claims on the policy. Having to pay higher premiums or rates could increase insurance costs hundreds of dollars a year for an indefinite number of years, either until a consumer’s reports and scores are more robust or, possibly, if the insurer determines that the consumer is less risky based on some other criteria.
  • Only Make Digital Payments to People You Know and Trust : Digital payments can make life faster and easier, but they can also be untraceable and non-recoverable, making it difficult or impossible to either retrieve money sent to a crook or have the funds reimbursed by a financial company that unwittingly participated in the fraudulent transaction. If you make electronic payments, be extra careful when transferring funds. Read our latest blog to learn more!
