 TITLE: Why Credit Education Is Important for Millennials CONTENT: Digital Tools and Credit Education\n----------------------------------\nRecent Experian research found that digital resources are highly effective at informing, educating and energizing millennial audiences, so it's fortunate that a growing number of financial institutions and credit card issuers are making web- and mobile-based credit education tools available to customers. Many of these resources are tied directly to users' credit reports, and can provide highly specific information about factors that are hurting their individual credit scores.\nMillennials (and users of all ages) can use these tools to improve their understanding of credit management and its relationship to credit scores and credit reports.\nOther credit education resources available free (to millennials and all consumers) include:\n*   Credit reports from each of the national credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax) are available to download free once every 12 months at AnnualCreditReport.com.\n*   You can check your FICO® Score based on Experian credit data and also review your Experian credit report for free at Experian.com.\n*   Consult Experian's credit education blog for more insights into making good credit decisions that in turn promote improvements in credit score and can help reduce the overall costs of loans and credit cards.\nMillennials are hungry for information that helps them understand the credit process and strategies for improving their credit.
