How to Build Your Own Credit Score Without a Credit Card | Vizzve Finance

Most people assume the only way to build a credit score in India is by swiping a credit card. But that’s a myth.

You can absolutely build a healthy CIBIL score without ever owning a credit card — and Vizzve Finance is here to guide you with simple, actionable ways.

🧠 First, Why Does a Credit Score Matter?

Your credit score (CIBIL) is a 3-digit number (300–900) that tells lenders how trustworthy you are.

It decides:

✅ Whether your loan gets approved

✅ What interest rate you’ll get

✅ How fast your loan gets disbursed

A score above 750 gives you the best chances.

📊 Can You Build Credit Without a Credit Card? YES.

Here’s how:

✅ 1. Take a Low-Ticket Personal Loan

Even if you don’t have a credit card, you can still take a small personal loan (₹10,000 – ₹50,000) from a trusted lender on Vizzve.

📌 How it helps:
Repaying the loan on time builds repayment history — the #1 factor in credit scoring.

🔧 Use Vizzve’s “Instant Personal Loan” option with soft credit checks and easy approval for salaried and self-employed.

✅ 2. Use BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) Wisely

Apps like ZestMoney, LazyPay, or Amazon Pay Later offer short-term credit.

📌 Tip:
Use for small purchases (under ₹5,000) and repay before due date to build credit without a card.

✅ Most of these services report to credit bureaus.

✅ 3. Opt for a Credit-Builder Loan or FD-Backed Loan

Some NBFCs offer loans against fixed deposits or credit-builder products where your EMI builds your credit profile.

📌 On Vizzve:
You can check for FD-backed secured loans — ideal for first-time credit users.

✅ 4. Pay Utility Bills on Time (Linked Accounts)

While utilities alone don’t affect your credit, new fintechs like Vizzve track utility payment behavior and offer rewards for responsible bill payers.

📌 Bills that count:

Electricity

Postpaid mobile

Broadband

Rent (via credit channels)

✅ 5. Become an Authorized User (Add-On Card)

If a family member with good credit adds you as a secondary user to their credit card, their repayment history can reflect on your report.

📌 Caution:
This works only if they maintain timely payments — otherwise, it can hurt your credit too.

✅ 6. Track Your Credit Report Regularly

Even without a credit card, you may already have a score from previous loan applications, telecom loans, or BNPL use.
