How long after paying off my credit card will my score change?

It can take up to one month for your credit score to increase after paying off your credit card. The exact time depends on when your credit card company reports your paid-off balance to the credit bureaus. Credit scores change when new information gets added to your credit reports, and lenders generally report account info to the bureaus every 30 days. So if you make a payment shortly after your lender reported, it could take longer for your score to update.

Because each individual’s credit report is unique and there are many factors that determine one’s score other than credit card debt, there’s no set amount of points your score will improve from making a credit card payment. However, WalletHub's Credit Analysis takes a closer look at the factors that make up your credit scores and can estimate how much of a point increase to expect.

It depends on how long it takes for your creditor to report your updated information to the credit bureaus.  Large companies report on average monthly and small companies report on average quarterly.

So, give it about 30-45 days and check your credit report to make sure that your payment is reported correctly.
