Security & transparency
Built to protect sensitive credit information
Checking your credit requires verifying your identity. Here is exactly how CreditVana protects your information and keeps your core score free.
HTTPS and HSTS
Encrypted connections
HTTPS encrypts information as it moves between you and CreditVana.
Official bureau access
Matched securely via IDIQ
Your identity details are transmitted securely to our bureau partner IDIQ solely to verify your identity and pull your official U.S. credit data.
Soft inquiry only
Checking never hurts your score
Viewing your own credit score and pre-qualified offers through CreditVana uses a soft inquiry, which has zero negative impact on your credit.
No data selling

Questions & answers
Everything you want to know before signing up
Clear answers about credit bureaus, identity verification, security, and how CreditVana works.
Is CreditVana really free?
Yes. Downloading CreditVana and creating an account is free, with no credit card required. The Free plan includes your Experian-based credit score, score factor insights, credit monitoring alerts, and access to our calculators and marketplace. Optional Premium and Pro upgrades are clearly labeled in the app before you choose them.
What credit bureau does CreditVana use?
The Free plan displays a VantageScore 3.0 based on Experian data. Optional Premium and Pro plans unlock credit scores, reports, and monitoring across all three major U.S. bureaus—Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion—through our partnership with IDIQ.
Why do you ask for my Social Security number?
CreditVana uses your Social Security number and other identity details to match you to your U.S. credit file through IDIQ. The connection is encrypted with HTTPS. You must be at least 18 and live in the U.S.
Does checking my score on CreditVana affect my credit?
No. Checking your own credit score and browsing pre-qualified offers on CreditVana uses a soft inquiry, which never lowers or impacts your credit score. Only a formal credit application submitted directly to a lender may result in a hard inquiry.
How do I create an account?
Download the CreditVana app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, or click "Get Your Free Credit Score" to register in the CreditVana web portal. Registration takes a few minutes: enter your legal personal details (name, date of birth, SSN), confirm your contact address, and set up your login security.
What is included in CreditVana Premium and Pro?
Premium adds three-bureau credit scores and reports (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion), expanded 3-bureau monitoring, and the AI Credit Coach. Pro adds 24/7 identity theft protection, dark web scanning, and SSN monitoring. Current pricing, billing options, and any eligible free trial terms are shown in the app before you confirm.
How does CreditVana make money?
CreditVana stays free through optional Premium and Pro in-app subscriptions and affiliate commissions earned when members choose to apply for third-party credit cards, loans, banking, or insurance offers in our marketplace. Partner compensation never changes your credit scores or editorial guidance.
