What Is Experian Boost?
Experian Boost is a free feature that allows Experian members to add eligible on-time payments to their Experian credit report. This can help improve credit scores, including the latest versions of FICO and VantageScore® credit scores. Launched in 2019, Experian Boost has expanded its list of eligible payment types, including monthly auto insurance payments.
Does Experian Boost Count Auto Insurance?
Initially, insurance payments were not eligible for Experian Boost. However, you can now add qualifying insurance payments for:
- Auto insurance
- Life insurance
- Homeowners insurance
- Renters insurance
- Pet insurance
To qualify, insurance payments must be made monthly. Health insurance payments are not eligible, even if paid monthly.
What Other Bills Can You Add to Experian Boost?
When you enroll in Experian Boost, you can choose which bill payments to add to your credit report. Eligible bills include:
- Mobile and landline phone bills
- Cable, internet, and satellite services
- Gas, electricity, waste management, and water bills
- Residential rent paid online
- Video streaming services
You can add or remove bills at any time. If you remove a bill, the entire payment history for that bill will be removed from your credit report. The payment history may also be removed if there are no reported payments for three consecutive months.
How to Sign Up for Experian Boost
To start using Experian Boost, follow these steps:
