Invaluable: How do I Build Credit?

Credit is one of the ways banks decide if they want to loan you money. But it also does so much more. It can impact both housing and job opportunities. Allison Falleur Barber, a financial coach with NW Access Fund, will explain what credit is, what our credit score is, and how we can work on building credit.

You can learn more about NW Access Fund at nwaccessfund.org. You can set up an email for financial coaching by emailing booking@nwaccessfund.org.

This webinar is part of Oregon ABLE’s new Invaluable webinar series, where we learn how to the get most out of our money. Each month, we have an expert join us to talk about a different financial topic. We’ll cover everything from budgeting, to building credit, to how you can start working without losing your benefits.

Best yet, this series is specifically designed for people with disabilities. We want to make sure our conversations fit in with the reality of your life. We’ll let you know if those on benefits need to consider certain things, or if there’s a related resource you might not know about.
