How can Atlas help my credit score?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Atlas is built to help you grow your credit score without the stress of interest charges or runaway debt. Whether you’re starting fresh or rebuilding, we make the process simple, automatic, and transparent.

How Atlas helps your credit

  • No interest—ever: Just a flat monthly membership fee.

  • Smart Pay protection: Automatic payments to prevent missed payments.

  • Credit bureau reporting: We report to TransUnion®, Experian®, and Equifax® every month.

  • Account history growth: The longer you stay, the more your account age can help your score.

Why it works

Your credit score improves over time when you:

  • Make payments on time.

  • Keep your credit utilization low.

  • Maintain a long, healthy credit history.

Atlas is designed to help you do all three—automatically. You can track your VantageScore® 3.0 from Experian and see your open accounts right in the app.
