Terms and Conditions for Credit Journey
Last updated: 12/16/19
Credit Journey is subject to Trans Union LLC’s (“TransUnion”) Terms of Use,
https://www.transunion.com/legal/terms-of-use. Use of Credit Journey is also subject to the
following additional Credit Journey Terms and Conditions, as amended from time to time. YOU
MUST ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW BEFORE YOU WILL BE PERMITTED
ACCESS TO CREDIT JOURNEY.
As used herein, the terms "Chase," "us," "we," or "our" mean JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., or any
affiliate, agent, service provider, independent contractor, designee, or assignee that we may, at
our sole discretion, involve in the provision of Credit Journey; "you" or "your" means the individual
that is the owner of an account.
When you use or access, or permit any other person(s) or entity to use or access Credit Journey,
you agree to these terms and conditions. We may amend or change these terms and conditions
from time to time, in our sole discretion, by sending you written notice by electronic mail, postal
mail or by posting the updated terms on the Credit Journey website. Please access and review
these terms and conditions regularly. If you find the terms and conditions unacceptable to you at
any time, please discontinue your use of Credit Journey (see cancellation section below). Your
use of Credit Journey after we have made such changes available will be considered your
agreement to the change.
Eligibility
You must be a U.S. resident or a resident of any territory or possession of the U.S. to use Credit
Journey. Also, you must be at least 18 years old. Credit Journey is available online at
https://creditcards.chase.com/free-credit-score provided that you have sufficient credit history in a
credit file with TransUnion to generate a VantageScore Credit Score and to provide credit report
information. Chase will use this information to provide you with the Credit Journey service and to
offer you other products from time to time. If TransUnion cannot match you with a credit report or
is otherwise unable to obtain your VantageScore Credit Score, you will not be able to use this
service until such time as you have built sufficient credit history. We reserve the right to refuse
access to Credit Journey at any time.
Registration and Accurate Information
If you choose to access Credit Journey, you will be required to provide personal information to
register and complete enrollment. If you are not enrolling directly from a Chase website or mobile
app, you will need to select a user name and password. You agree to provide accurate information
in your registration and not to share your password with third parties. You agree not to
impersonate another person or to select or use a user name or password of another person. You
agree to notify TransUnion Interactive, Inc. promptly of any unauthorized use of Credit Journey
and of any loss, theft or disclosure of your password. Failure to comply with these requirements
shall constitute a breach of these terms and conditions and shall constitute grounds for immediate
termination of your right to access Credit Journey.
Your Authorization to Chase to Obtain Your Credit
Information
By checking the Authorization box and clicking “I consent” during enrollment, you are providing
written instructions under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other applicable laws, including similar
state laws, for TransUnion or any other consumer reporting agency to release your credit report
information, for example a VantageScore Credit Score or employment and income information
about you, to Chase upon Chase’s request at any time as long as you are enrolled in the Credit
Journey service. Chase will use this information to provide you with the Credit Journey service and
to offer you other products from time to time.
VantageScore Credit Score
The credit score provided is your VantageScore Credit Score, which is a model created by the
three major credit bureaus, Equifax Inc., Experian Information Solutions, Inc. and TransUnion.
VantageScore Credit Score predicts credit risk. Specifically, it measures the probability that a
person will pay his or her debts on time. There are many different credit scores in the marketplace
based on different models with different scoring ranges. The scores provided by Credit Journey
are for educational/informational purposes only. Credit Journey can only evaluate the account
information that appears on your TransUnion consumer credit report. Accounts not reported to or
subsequently deleted from your TransUnion consumer credit report will not be reflected in your
score. Credit Journey does not maintain your credit report information and is not able to make any
changes to it.
Your credit information will be presented to you by Chase in an easy-to-read format. We intend for
you to learn more about your credit score and the factors that impact it, but note that Chase and
TransUnion are not credit repair organizations as defined under federal or state law, including the
Credit Repair Organizations Act. Chase and TransUnion do not provide “credit repair” services or
advice or assistance regarding rebuilding or improving your credit history or credit score, or
monitoring for specific events that may impact your credit information. Chase and TransUnion also
cannot act on your behalf to dispute the accuracy of any information that appears in your credit
report, other than information reported by Chase. Chase and TransUnion are not responsible for
inaccurate results, including any due to incorrect, incomplete, or outdated information in your
credit report.
You can view your VantageScore Credit Score and Credit Journey as often as you like. It won’t
impact your credit score.
Simulations
Credit Journey has a credit score simulator that estimates how certain changes in your credit
behavior may impact your credit score. This simulator shows how these changes may impact the
credit score displayed on Credit Journey, which is the VantageScore Credit Score. Simulated
scores and score changes simulated by Credit Journey are only predicated estimates. Credit
Journey and TransUnion Interactive, Inc. do not guarantee that your actual credit score will
change by the same amount, in the same way, or at all.
Communications
You agree to receive these terms and conditions and all other communications regarding Credit
Journey in electronic format. You agree that by using Credit Journey, all notices, alerts or other
communications which we may be required to give you arising from our obligations under Credit
Journey may be sent to you by any or all of the following sources, at our option:

continue to honor any opt out requests that you have made for messages from Chase.
Your Right To Receive A Free Credit Report From

agree to be bound by the rules and terms concerning these features.
