The program also monitors your credit report daily and emails you if any major changes are detected, such as a new account opening, a change in address or employment, a delinquency report, or an injury. Credit monitoring helps you prevent identity theft and fraud.
-
Will I see a full credit report?The program provides you with all the information you would find on your credit file, including a list of open loans, accounts, and credit inquiries. You’ll also be able to see details on your payment history, credit utilization, and public records that show up on your account. Like the rest of the program, there will be no impact on your score.

-
How does this program differ from other credit-scoring offerings?This program pulls your credit profile from TransUnion, one of the three major credit reporting bureaus, and uses VantageScore 3.0, a credit scoring model developed collaboratively by Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. This model seeks to make score information more uniform between the three bureaus to provide you with a better picture of your credit health.
-
Why do credit scores differ?There are three major credit-reporting bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and Transunion—and two scoring models—FICO or VantageScore—that determine credit scores. Financial institutions use different bureaus, as well as their own scoring models. Over 200 factors of a credit report may be considered when calculating a score, and each model may weigh credit factors differently, so no scoring model is completely identical. No matter what credit bureau or credit scoring model is used, consumers do fall into specific credit ranges: Excellent 781–850, Good 661-780, Fair 601-660, Unfavorable 501-600, and Bad Below 500.
-
Will Police Federal Credit Union of Omaha use this program to make loan decisions?No, we use our own lending criteria for making loan decisions.
-
Will the program share my credit score with Police Federal Credit Union of Omaha?No, it is a free service that helps you understand your credit health, how to improve your score, and how you can save money on your loans with Police Federal Credit Union of Omaha.

You’ll also see offers on how you can save money on your new and existing loans with Police Federal Credit Union of Omaha.
-
What if the information appears to be wrong or inaccurate?We make our best effort to show you the most relevant information from your credit report. If you think that some of the information is wrong or inaccurate, we encourage you to take advantage of obtaining free credit reports from www.annualcreditreport.com, and then pursuing with each bureau individually. Each bureau has its own process for correcting inaccurate information, but every user can “File a Dispute” by clicking on the “Dispute” link within their Credit Score Credit Report. However, The Federal Trade Commission website offers step-by-step instructions on how to contact the bureaus and correct errors.
-

In most cases, these offers may have lower interest rates than the products you already have. The educational articles are designed to provide helpful tips on how you can manage credit and debt wisely.
-
Will accessing this Credit Score/Report program ‘ping’ my credit and potentially lower my credit score?No. Using this program is a “soft inquiry,” which does not affect your credit score. Lenders use "hard inquiries" to make decisions about your creditworthiness when you apply for loans.
-
Does the program offer credit report monitoring as well?Yes. It will monitor and send email alerts when there’s been a change to your credit profile.
-
Can members use the Credit Score/Report program on mobile devices?Yes, it is available for both mobile and tablet devices and is integrated into our mobile application.

Overdraft Protection
Overdraft protection, also known as bounce protection, advances money to cover a check written on an account that does not have sufficient funds. Our overdraft protection helps you avoid the high fees and embarrassment associated with overdrawing your share draft (checking) account.
With overdraft protection, funds are transferred from your personal line of credit loan to cover share drafts that would normally be returned. There is NO FEE for transfers from your personal line of credit; however, interest will be charged on any outstanding line of credit balances at the current rate. Loan advances will only be made in the amount of the overdraft and will appear on your next statement. You must be 19 years of age to apply for overdraft protection.
Setting up overdraft protection for your account is EASY! Contact a Lending Team member at 402-391-4040, option # 1, or apply online.
