Checking your credit score is an important step to understand your financial health. Here are some common ways to do it:

1. Credit Bureaus' Websites: Many credit bureaus, such as Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, offer free access to your credit score. Some may require creating an account or signing up for a service.

2. Bank or Credit Card Issuers: Many banks and credit card companies provide free credit scores to their customers through online banking platforms or mobile apps.

3. Financial Apps and Websites: Platforms like Credit Karma, Mint, or NerdWallet offer free credit scores and monitoring services.

4. Credit Reports: While your credit report includes detailed information, it doesn't always contain your credit score unless specified. You can purchase your score from the credit bureaus or via certain services.

5. Annual Free Reports: You are entitled to a free credit report from each of the three major bureaus once a year through AnnualCreditReport.com. Note: This report doesn't always include your score, but some providers now include it.

Tips:

- Check regularly to spot errors or fraudulent activity.

- Compare scores from different sources for a comprehensive view.

- Understand the factors that impact your score, such as payment history, credit utilization, and length of credit history.
