Every time you use and repay Neo Advance, it’s reported to credit bureaus—helping you build credit history through everyday activity, with nothing extra to manage.
How Neo Advance builds credit
Neo Advance is a credit product, and your activity (including how you use it and whether you repay on time) is reported to credit bureaus each month.
On-time repayment is what matters most: it shows lenders you’re using credit responsibly, which supports a positive credit history over time.
Note: Missed or overdue payments may also be reported and can affect your credit score. For what happens if a payment is missed, see Paying off Neo Advance.
Why automatic repayment makes this easier
Repayment happens automatically the next time money is added to your Neo Chequing account, making it easier to build credit consistently.
Use Neo Advance when you need it, and let repayment do the work—the consistency is what builds your history.
Growing your limit while you build credit
Using and repaying Neo Advance regularly can also help you work toward a higher advance limit. For more details, here’s how to grow your Neo Advance limit.
Building toward more credit
