Get Your Free Credit Report
Your credit report is a comprehensive record of your credit history and lenders use your credit score as a signal of your creditworthiness. It includes details about your credit accounts (e.g., credit cards, loans, mortgages), payment history, outstanding balances, and any public records like bankruptcies. Regularly reviewing your credit report is crucial to ensure accuracy, as errors can lower your credit score and affect your financial options.
With Borrowell, you can access your full Equifax Canada credit report for free directly through our app. Equifax Canada is one of Canada’s major consumer credit bureaus. Our platform makes it easy to review your credit report, identify discrepancies, and take action to correct them.

Build Your Credit History
A strong credit history is a key factor to achieving a higher credit score, which can lead to higher chances of approval for loans, larger credit limits and better interest rates. Borrowell offers innovative tools to help you build credit without taking on additional debt:
Borrowell Rent Advantage: Report your rent payments to Equifax Canada to build credit history. No landlord involvement is required, and there are no hard credit checks or hidden fees.
Borrowell Credit Builder: Establish a positive payment history with small, manageable payments reported to Equifax Canada. Payments are automated via pre-authorized debit, ensuring you never miss a due date.

Ratings and reviews

My credit score has not been updated for more than 1 year. This app is showing inaccurate information, and the updates are consistently late and confusing. I have reached out to the borrowers support team multiple times, but I have not received any response. This lack of communication is very frustrating and unacceptable, given the importance of accurate credit reporting.

Has been great for years, but now the app just won't load. No idea why, and it won't tell me why. I will give it a couple more tries over the month and see if it corrects itself otherwise I will need to find a new app. Edit: Tried to uninstall and reinstall to log in. Apparently I am blocked by CloudFlare. adjusted from 4 stars to 1

there is a big disparity in credit score in borowell app and when I checked through my scotia bank app. seems like this is a waste of time and energy. and most of the amounts owing are not even updated after 2 months.. cannot trust this app
