Capital One’s CreditWise app just got a massive upgrade—and it’s a game changer for anyone serious about their credit! CreditWise now provides your TransUnion FICO Score 8, the same score model used by most lenders when making credit decisions. This is a huge step up from before, when CreditWise only offered the VantageScore 3.0, which was mainly for educational purposes and not typically used by lenders. Why This Matters •FICO Score 8 Is What Lenders Use: About 90% of top lenders rely on FICO scores, especially the FICO 8 model, to evaluate credit applications. This means the score you see in CreditWise is much more likely to match what banks, credit card issuers, and other lenders see when you apply for credit. •More Accurate Credit Insight: With access to your actual FICO Score 8 from TransUnion, you get a much clearer picture of your real credit standing. This helps you make smarter decisions and avoid surprises when you apply for loans, credit cards, or mortgages.

I actually like this app, I use it because it's connected to my Capital One credit card account but the score it shows isn't accurate. I just paid $2151 to pay off 1 credit card and $1000 to pay off another, I was going to purchase a car at the end of they year because I'm waiting on my credit score to go up. In January it said it was 564, I made 2 small payments of $500 and $300 to 2 cards and it jumped 50 points to 614. So I'm like oh once these last 2 payments are made it's gonna go up to 653 where I'm usually at and will be closer to 700 by December. Well I go into a dealership on Saturday February 24th and they told me if my credit score was 625 they'd give me a car with $0 down. My friend just bought her car a month before me and she told me her score was 652 and higher than what Credit Wise showed and she got a 2018 Honda CR-V with $0 down so I let them run mines. 30 minutes later the lady comes to me and say "which car do you want, go pick your car out cuz I got you with $0 down!" I rolled off the lot in a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL and my credit score with TransUnion is 667 where it shows 614 here on Credit Wise and they go by the TransUnion score, it was 632 with Experian as well so either way I was leaving the lot with a new car. They don't go by Equifax anymore when looking for financing.
