Financial Resources

You Should Know

There are some things every Taleris Member should know… where our branches are located, how to find shared branches and reduced fee ATMs, where to get a CARFAX and a free credit report. Add to those a few tools to make good financial decisions. The links on this page will take you to these resources. Some of them are located right on our site, and some will take you to sites sponsored by a few of our partners. As always, if there is something that you need additional help with, give us a call at 216.739.2300 or 800.828.6446 toll free.

Free Credit Report

Why do I want a copy of my credit report?

Your credit report has information that affects whether you can get a loan – and how much you will have to pay to borrow money. You want a copy of your credit report to:

1. Make sure the information is accurate, complete, and up-to-date before you apply for a loan for a major purchase like a house or car, buy insurance, or apply for a job.
2. Help guard against identity theft. That’s when someone uses your personal information – like your name, your Social Security number, or your credit card number – to commit fraud. Identity thieves may use your information to open a new credit card account in your name. Then, when they don’t pay the bills, the delinquent account is reported on your credit report. Inaccurate information like that could affect your ability to get credit, insurance, or even a job.

To request a free credit report you have three options:
