Build credit faster with opensky®
Your opensky® card reports to all three major credit bureaus every month. Every on-time payment gets seen by everyone who matters. Plus, no credit check means no ding on your score just for applying. You start building from day one.
Why on-time payments matter most for credit
On-time payments make up 35% of your credit score—more than any other factor. Even small payments above the minimum count when they’re consistent.
Every month you’re on time is another month proving you’re reliable with credit.
Keep your balance under 30% to boost your score
Your credit utilization—how much of your available credit you're using—matters. Keep it under 30% of your limit, and your score stays happy.
On a $200 opensky® card? Don't go over $60. This simple rule can be the difference between a "good" and "excellent" credit score.

Mix different types of credit to boost your score
Having both cards and loans shows you can handle different types of credit. It's only 10% of your score though. So don't get a car loan just to boost your score—that's expensive credit building. Start with your opensky card, then add other types when you need them.
