How BayPort Credit Union is educating members about lending options
BayPort Credit Union in Newport News, Virginia, is giving members a new tool that shows them what loan products and rates they qualify for without negatively affecting their credit scores.
The $2.4 billion-asset credit union began exploring the “Get My Rate” solution in 2020 as part of its preexisting partnership with the credit score technology firm SavvyMoney in Dublin, California, which has been providing BayPort with its NCR Credit Score service for members since February 2020.

Using an external portal hosted by SavvyMoney but bearing BayPort branding, both external consumers and internal members are invited to input personal details such as their Social Security number and date of birth for a soft credit check as part of the prequalification process.
