Does opening or closing a savings account affect my credit score?

Opening or closing a savings (or checking) account is not reported by financial institutions to the credit reporting agencies (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax). This means your credit score isn’t affected when opening or closing a savings account. The one exception is if you owe the Credit Union of Southern California any money that you do not pay back before closing the account, in this case, an unpaid debt would be reported to the credit reporting agencies.
