About US Credit Building Guide

Plain-English credit-building help.

Disclosure: This page has no sponsored links. Other pages may contain affiliate links.

US Credit Building Guide is an independent site for people starting out with little or no US credit history. We're not a lender, a credit bureau, a credit repair company or a financial adviser, and nothing here is financial advice.

How we research

We rely on primary sources: the CFPB, the FTC, AnnualCreditReport.com, myFICO, and card issuers' own published terms. Product facts are checked against the issuer's website, and we note the date we checked.

How we make money

Some links are affiliate links. If you apply through them and are approved, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. See our disclosure. We describe the risks and alternatives either way.

Corrections

We re-check facts against the linked sources when we update pages, and fix errors as soon as we find them.
