Get Started* The services are provided by SavvyMoney, Inc., utilizing the VantageScore 3.0 model in partnership with TransUnion credit bureau. The credit report card and score is not used for determining loan rates or loan approval purposes; loan rates and approvals are based on information provided separately to Guardian Credit Union when you apply for a loan. The credit score found in the credit report used by Guardian Credit Union may be different than the credit score provided within SavvyMoney, as we do not use the Vantage 3.0 model.
