How to Build from 600 to 650+ Credit Score
- 1
Pay on time, every time
Payment history = 35% of your FICO score. A PrimeLendings installment loan with on-time payments is the fastest credit-building tool available.
- 2
Lower credit card utilization
Utilization = 30% of your FICO score. Keep card balances below 30% of limits for the fastest score improvement.
- 3
Do not close old accounts
Credit age matters. Keep old credit cards open even if unused.
- 4
Limit hard inquiries
Each hard inquiry temporarily drops your score 5–10 points. PrimeLendings pre-qualification never causes a hard pull.
