Credit monitoring

Every change on your report, caught the moment it happens

Our partner-powered monitoring watches all three bureaus around the clock and tells you the instant something moves — so nothing on your credit file ever catches you by surprise.

Financial dashboard with live charts and alerts on a dark screen

Full coverage across all three bureaus

Lenders report to different bureaus — so our partner network monitors every one of them. A change on any single report gets surfaced on your dashboard.

Equifax

One of the two most widely used bureaus by mortgage and auto lenders. Your Equifax score and full report — accounts, inquiries, balances, and derogatory marks — are tracked daily.

Score + full reportMonitored daily on paid plans

Experian

The largest bureau by file volume, used heavily by credit card issuers. Your Experian score, FICO factors, and every new account or inquiry are surfaced the day they appear.

Score + full reportMonitored daily on paid plans

TransUnion

Frequently pulled for rentals, employment checks, and auto financing. Your TransUnion score and report are tracked alongside the others so no file drifts out of view.

Monitoring uses soft pulls only — checking your own credit never affects your score.

What we alert you about

Eight alert types covering everything that can move your score — each one delivered the moment it's detected, not days later.

Alert delivery speed depends on your plan: Free members get a weekly monitoring digest, Builder members get alerts as they're detected with daily refreshes, and Pro members get real-time push with hourly refreshes.

New accounts opened

Any new credit card, loan, or tradeline appearing on your report — whether you opened it or someone else did.

Same day detected

Hard inquiries

Every hard pull from a lender or creditor, so you always know exactly who checked your credit and when.

Within 24 hours

Score changes

Point-by-point score movement on any bureau, with the factor that drove the change called out in plain language.

Daily on Builder, real-time on Pro

Late payments & collections

Missed payments reported by a creditor or a new collection account hitting your file — the fastest way to catch errors and identity theft.

Within 24 hours

Derogatory marks

Charge-offs, repossessions, bankruptcies, and public records the moment they appear or get removed.

Within 24 hours

Utilization spikes

We flag when your credit utilization crosses the thresholds that start costing you points — before your statement closes.

Daily refresh

Personal info changes

New addresses, name changes, or employer updates on your file — common early signals of identity fraud.

Within 24 hours

Fraud indicators

Suspicious patterns across bureaus — unfamiliar accounts, rapid inquiries, or report freezes — bundled into one urgent alert.

Real-time on Pro

From detection to your pocket

An alert is only useful if it's fast, accurate, and easy to understand. Every alert follows the same three-step path.

1

Detect

Report refreshes sweep all three bureaus around the clock and surface the change the moment it posts to your file.

2

Verify

We confirm the change is a real file update — not a reporting lag or a duplicate — so you never chase a false alarm.

3

Deliver

The alert lands in your dashboard feed with a plain-language explanation, plus push and SMS delivery on Pro.

Your monitoring feed, at a glance

Every alert lands in a single stream on your dashboard — color-coded by severity, ordered by impact, and readable in seconds.
