Your credit history influences various areas of your financial life. Did you know it can also affect your insurance premium?

Roughly 85% of home insurers use certain attributes of your credit score to create what is called a “credit-based insurance score” (CBI). According to the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, studies have shown that most policy holders get a better deal when CBI scores are used to determine a premium since there is greater accuracy.

Did your insurance company use a CBI when determining your premium? Ask your representative. If you have a great credit score and are insured by a company not utilizing the CBI, you could be overpaying.
