Have a less-than-desirable credit score and want to boost it quickly? Consider a rapid rescore, a process where your lender works with a third-party credit reporting company to update your credit file – and recalculate your credit score – within 1 to 5 business days, instead of waiting 30 to 45 days for the bureaus to update on their own. It's not a loan product, a credit repair service, or something you can request yourself: Only a lender can initiate a rapid rescore on your behalf.
