Main StorySimple Steps to Improve Your Credit Score By Kristina Bergner, Simplicity Bank  A good credit score has more benefits than you may think. Your credit score can decide if you get a loan with a low interest rate, a loan with a high interest rate, or no loan at all. Some companies even look at your credit score before they hire you for a job. Your credit score has more power than you may think.
