What is a Bankuish Score?

Question 3

How will I know if I have bank offers?

Accepted Answer

Any available offers will appear on the home screen of your app. You will also receive a notification from the app.

Question 4

What can I do if my score is too low to receive offers?

Accepted Answer

Building a credit score takes time. So, too, does building a Bankuish Score. Focus on producing a consistent monthly salary and on making all outstanding payments on time. Set a schedule for yourself and earnings goals to keep you on track.

Question 5

Am I guaranteed to be approved for offers in my account?

Accepted Answer

Bankuish believes in respecting your time and your data. We don't SPAM you with offers that you don't qualify for. We're constantly improving our recomendations to better match people to the products and services they deserve. However, we cannot guarantee that you will be accepted for the products you apply for. What we can promise is that we will continue to fight for your right to fair and affordable financial services.

Question 6

How often does my Bankuish Score update?

Accepted Answer

Bankuish Scores are not static – they are constantly evolving in response to your activities. Therefore, we update all user scores once a week. Check back each week to monitor changes to your score and track your progress.

Question 7

What factors affect my Bankuish Score?

Accepted Answer

There are a series of factors that impact your Bankuish Score. Keep in mind that while your score measures your activity over a period of several years, your current activity is weighted more heavily in Bankuish Score calculations than activity from years past. The following are some of the most important factors we consider:
 
Average monthly income trends
How much money are you earning on average each month? Stable, consistent income over time helps drive your score up. Higher average monthly salary may qualify you for higher value offers. 
 
Drops in aggregate activity
Inactivity in your gig platform or large fluctuations in your monthly salary may indicate future difficulty repaying loans. The Bankuish model was built for freelancers, so we understand there are natural fluctuations in activity from month to month. However, these fluctuations can add up and damage your Score. Consistency is key. 
 
Work transactions canceled by you
Creditworthiness is built on trust. We want to see that you are meeting your commitments. Consistently canceling transactions may indicate difficulty fulfilling obligations. 
 
Past due payments and obligations that show up on your credit report
Missed payments can really hurt your credit score. If you have some missed payments in the past, do what you can to make sure you don’t miss any more moving forward. Remember, your current activity counts for more than past activity.
 
Adverse public records such as bankruptcies
Your public record is part of your Bankuish Score calculation. Adverse records lower your score. But hard work and consistency can overcome any adverse events from the past. Remember, your current activity counts more than your past activity. 
 
Your collection history with any Bankuish banking partner
On time payments demonstrate your trustworthiness and boost your Bankuish Score. Missed or late payments, on the other hand, will hurt your score.

Question 8

Why do I need to connect my account data?

Accepted Answer

Your Bankuish Score is determined based on several factors, including your salary and activity on your gig platform(s). Connecting your gig account allows us to access the data we need to determine your creditworthiness.

Question 9

Why is it important to share your data with financial institutions?

Accepted Answer

So that financial institutions (banks, insurance companies, among others) can verify your identity and offer you the best financial products, tailored to your needs.

For the first time, all the years of hard work you have invested in your reputation will be valued and that effort will be reflected in more money for you.

This is similar to submitting documents to the bank to open an account or apply for a loan. It is necessary to share this information in order to engage in any type of financial activity, as this information is required to comply with regulations, as well as to protect you and them from fraud and illegal transactions.

Question 10

Is my data safe?

We guarantee that we cannot use or access your accounts or use your bank money. Our security policies and practices are designed to protect your personal and financial data. We can only access your banking information with your explicit consent and for the purposes for which such consent has been given.
