Scoring Insight
30% is the universal tipping point where credit scoring algorithms begin imposing point penalties. Getting below 29% immediately halts this drag.
⚠️ Bureau Reporting Date Note: Credit card issuers report balances to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion on your monthly statement closing date, NOT your payment due date. To ensure low utilization reflects on your credit report, pay down balances 2 to 3 days before your statement billing cycle closes.
