The Surprising Facts About Closing Credit Cards After Payoff

Info

Closing a credit card after paying it off may seem like a wise choice, but it can actually harm your credit score.

One surprising truth is that your credit utilization ratio, which is a key factor in credit scoring, can be negatively affected when you reduce your available credit.

This ratio measures how much of your available credit you’re using; lower available credit can lead to higher utilization, potentially lowering your score.

🏦 Additionally, credit history length matters—older accounts contribute positively to your score.

Instead of closing the card, consider keeping it open and using it occasionally to maintain a healthy credit profile.
