Ever wanted to know the impact of certain financial decisions on your credit score, before you make them? CreditWise has a tool for that. Use the Credit Simulator to see how different scenarios—like opening a new credit card—could affect your FICO Score 8. Knowing how certain actions could impact your score may help you establish, maintain and build credit for more financial stability.


CreditWise is free, fast, secure and available to every adult who is 18 or older residing in the US with a Social Security number and a report on file at TransUnion. Download the app today and take control of your credit.


The credit score provided in CreditWise is a FICO® Score 8 based on TransUnion® data. The FICO Score 8 gives you a good sense of your credit health but it may not be the same score model used by your lender or creditor. The availability of the CreditWise tool and certain features in the tool depends on our ability to obtain your credit history from TransUnion and whether you have sufficient credit history to generate a FICO Score 8. Some monitoring and alerts may not be available to you if the information you enter at enrollment does not match the information in your credit file at (or you do not have a file at) one or more consumer reporting agencies. You do not need to be a Capital One account holder to sign up for CreditWise.


Alerts are based on changes to your TransUnion and Experian® credit reports and information we find on the dark web.


The CreditWise Simulator provides an estimate of your score change and does not guarantee how your score may change.
