In today’s financial marketplace, a solid credit score is extremely important. It acts as a three-digit summary of your financial reliability, directly impacting your ability to borrow money, secure loans at lower interest rates, and get approved for housing (including rentals). 

Current data shows that about 53% of consumers currently fall within the model's "preferred" range of 720 to 850, which means 47% have room to boost their scores. 

On April 16, in support of Financial Capability Month, attend the interactive virtual workshop, “How to be Credit Healthy – the Do’s and Don'ts of Building a High Credit Score.” 

Topics covered:

• What areas of our lives does credit impact?

• Key factors that contribute to building (and keeping) a high score 

• Common myths about credit scores that often lead to confusion

• Credit and the cost of borrowing money

Date: Thursday, April 16, 2026
Time: 12-1 p.m.
Presenters: Mark Munzenberger, Financial Education Manager, and Nicole Bernacik, Financial Specialist, U-M Credit Union
