SingSaver.com.sg presents Credit Awareness Month. Access your credit report for free* at Credit Bureau Singapore for the whole month of June!

Over the past few months, we’ve shown you many ways to boost your financial health. From saving an emergency fund to choosing the right credit card, you have all the information you need to make smart financial decisions.

But have you ever thought about how financially literate you might seem to banks and financial institutions? When was the last time you checked your credit report?

June is Credit Awareness Month

SingSaver.com.sg is partnering with Credit Bureau Singapore (CBS) to give you the financial equivalent of getting a medical check-up. For the whole month of June, CBS supports SingSaver.com.sg users in facilitating the redemption of their credit reports for FREE.

While Singaporeans understand the basics of money management, many fail to check a critical indicator of financial health: your credit score.

The better your credit score, the lower risk you will be considered by lenders, and the more likely they will accept your applications for mortgages and other forms of credit. However, if you have a low credit score, your application has a high chance of getting rejected.

Before you apply for a loan or credit card, it’s a good idea to check your credit score. If you don’t, and your application gets rejected – which then prompts you to make several other applications – this can have a further negative impact on your score.

Normally, checking your credit report at the CBS is priced at S$6.42 (inclusive of GST). But for the whole month of June, SingSaver.com.sg lets you access your credit report for FREE.
