While we should be working toward healthy financial habits each day, there’s a day dedicated to learning about good credit habits, deemed National Get Smart About Credit Day, which lands on October 15, 2020. If you’re unsure about how credit works, you’re not alone. While you can use this day to learn about finance and how you can improve your credit, the healthy habits you learn today can be used all year long.
Get Smart About Credit Day was established by the American Bankers Association (ABA) to help encourage young people to get a good understanding of credit by educating them on how to properly manage and protect their credit score.
Throughout October, bankers across America provide information regarding the use of credit at local high schools and colleges in honor of Get Smart About Credit Day. To celebrate this national day, you can go speak with a financial adviser about your current financial situation. If you’re unable to speak to a banker about credit education, there are many resources you can use, not only to learn more about credit but also to help boost your credit score.
Ways to Get Smart About Credit
- Learn how to budget
- Use your credit card responsibly

- Learn about the different ways to improve your credit score
While practicing good credit habits should be a way of life, there’s never a bad time to start. People all over the United States use National Get Smart About Credit Day as a time to set realistic financial goals for themselves and put together a plan that will set them up for a better financial future.
By taking the time to get a good understanding of credit, you may feel more comfortable with your financial situation, which in turn may allow you to pay off debts sooner.

MaxLend, is a sovereign enterprise, an economic development arm and instrumentality of, and wholly-owned and controlled by, the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation, a federally-recognized sovereign American Indian Tribe. (the “Tribe”). This means that MaxLend’s loan products are provided by a sovereign government and the proceeds of our business fund governmental services for Tribe citizens. This also means that MaxLend is not subject to suit or service of process. Rather, MaxLend is regulated by the Tribe. If you do business with MaxLend, your potential forums for dispute resolution will be limited to those available under Tribal law and your loan agreement. As more specifically set forth in MaxLend’s contracts, these forums include an informal but affordable and efficient Tribal dispute resolution, or individual arbitration before a neutral arbitrator. Otherwise, MaxLend is not subject to suit or service of process. Nothing in this website is intended to waive or otherwise prejudice MaxLend’s entitlement to these protections. Neither MaxLend nor the Tribe has waived its sovereign immunity in connection with any claims relative to use of this website. If you are not comfortable doing business with sovereign instrumentality that cannot be sued in court, you should discontinue use of this website.
