What is eCredable Lift?

eCredable Lift helps you get credit for your rent, phone, and utility payments so you can take control of your credit, whether you are looking to establish credit, build credit, or even rebuild your credit. When you link your eligible payments, we’ll report a positive payment history to TransUnion, which can help raise your credit score!

How does eCredable Lift work?

Link the bank or credit card account you use to pay your rent, phone, and utilities. Then select which account type you would like to report from the list of gas, water, power, cell. After selecting the account type, you must select the payment associated with the account type. We verify the payment you select matches the account type that you selected.​​

For rent, start by uploading your lease. We verify the information on your lease with the information in your profile. We also verify the payment matches the payment due in your lease. There’s usually no need for us to contact your landlord.​

How do I cancel my eCredable Lift subscription?

At eCredable, we make it as easy to cancel as it is to sign up. You can cancel your eCredable Lift subscription at any time through your account dashboard. Please follow these steps:
1. Log in to your eCredable account [click here].
2. On your dashboard, click "Subscription."
3. Click "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your cancellation.

By canceling your subscription:​
- We will no longer report your Rent, Phone and Utility Payments to TransUnion. You will no longer receive the benefit of these additional positive payments on your credit score.​
- We will close all of your accounts at eCredable in your TransUnion credit file. This will likely result in your credit score going down.​

If you choose to cancel despite the valuable benefits of eCredable Lift, please follow the steps above. However, if there’s anything we can do to improve your experience or address your concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help.

Your phone or utility account will automatically close if we cannot report a phone or utility payment to TransUnion for 90 consecutive days.

If we cannot locate a recent payment, we’ll notify you by email and ask you to log in to select your latest payment.

Does eCredable report to all three credit bureaus?

eCredable currently reports rent, phone, and utility payments to TransUnion.

How do my phone and utility payments appear on my TransUnion credit report?

Your accounts will display as an Open Utility and Telecommunications account. You can identify an account by the following:
ECREDABLE.COM, LLC [Account Number****]
Original Creditor: <Phone or Utility Company Name>

Why are there new accounts for phone and utility accounts reporting on my TransUnion credit report?

Each eligible phone or utility payment reported through eCredable Lift counts as a separate account for that phone or utility company on your TransUnion credit report. We will attempt to report as much payment history as possible per account, up to 24 months. Everyone’s credit profile is unique. Other factors outside of eCredable Lift may also affect your credit profile and/or credit scores.

When will my phone and utility payments be reported?

Once we find and verify your payments in your payment account, we’ll report them to TransUnion as a separate account for that phone or utility company within 2-4 weeks. We’ll continue looking for payments in your payment account and automatically report your payments monthly.

Why can't I pick certain phone and utility payments from my payment account to report?

Occasionally, some payments may appear “grayed out” and unavailable for phone and utility reporting. This could happen if a payment:​​
-Has already been reported
​-Is pending reporting​
-Is still in the process of verification​
-Could not be verified​
-Is not an eligible transaction type for phone or utility reporting​

Can you report past phone or utility payments for me?

Yes. We will attempt to report as much payment history as possible per account, up to 24 months. Past payments must be found in the payment source(s) you link to eCredable to be eligible.

Why was my payment denied for phone and utility reporting?

eCredable is obligated to verify we're reporting information on your credit report that is accurate per the credit bureau's reporting requirements. This means we need to verify your identity, address, service provider, and payment details. If we are not able to confirm these details, we may not be able to report your payments to any credit bureaus.

How much does eCredable Lift cost?

The eCredable Lift subscription costs $9.95 per month. This includes the ability to report up to 24 months of payment history for rent and eligible utility accounts. The payment must be verified by accessing payments in your Payment Source, such as your bank or credit card account. ​

2. Select the account you wish to close.

Which types of rental accounts qualify?

Payments made from your linked Payment Source, such as a bank or credit card account, are eligible. The payment amount must match the amount due specified in your lease. The payee must match the name of the landlord in your lease. Rent payments made with cash, money order, personal check, or through person-to-person apps like PayPal or Venmo are not eligible.​

Why did my rent account automatically close?

Your rent account will automatically close if we cannot report a payment to TransUnion for 90 consecutive days. As long as your bank account remains connected, we’ll continue checking for eligible payments monthly. If we cannot locate a recent payment, we’ll notify you by email and prompt you to log in to select your latest payment. To keep your account active, ensure your payment is selected each month to avoid automatic closure due to 90 days of non-reporting.

How does my rent appear on my TransUnion credit report?

Your rent will be displayed as a rent account. You can identify an account by the following:

ECREDABLE.COM, LLC [Account Number****]
Original Creditor: <Landlord or Property Management Company>

Why is there a new account for rent account reporting on my TransUnion credit report?

Since TransUnion only allows one Rental Account to be included in your credit file, this can only happen when you choose to add a Rental Account to your TransUnion credit file using eCredable Lift, or your landlord starting reporting your Rental Account.​

Why does eCredable need to verify my payment manually?

We may need to verify your payment manually when: 
-You first sign up for rent reporting
-Your landlord or property management company changes
-You move to a new address
-The source of your rental payment changes
-We have other questions about your transaction details

Once our team has the necessary information, it typically takes up to three business days to review a payment.

No, neither your login credentials nor your transactions are stored by eCredable. They remainat the bank (or credit card issuer) and can only be accessed when we are connected to thebank (or credit card issuer) via Plaid, and with your express permission.​

How does eCredable work with Plaid?​

When you initially link your bank (or credit card) account via Plaid, you authenticate your login credentials directly with your bank. eCredable never sees your login credentials. Your bank issues a security token to Plaid to ensure only you are granting access to your bank transactions.

This security token grants permission to Plaid to securely access your payment source without requiring you to login. This ensures your credentials remain private, while still allowing eCredable to retrieve the payments you have authorized for rent and utility reporting.​

How is business credit used?

Business credit is used to assess risk across multiple parts of a small business’s financial life. It influences lending, insurance, leasing, vendor terms, and even partnership decisions.

Business credit affects:​
- Cost of capital​Access to growth opportunities​
- Cash‑flow flexibility
- ​Vendor relationships​
- Insurance costs​
- Leasing and expansion​

The younger your business is, the more likely the lender is going to rely on your personal credit and not value your business credit as much. The older your business becomes, the more likely the lender is going to value your business credit. The sooner your build business credit, the sooner you’ll be able to avoid relying solely on your personal credit.​

What if my utility account/business service provider is not listed?

There are two different situations to consider:​​

1. Invoice reporting – When you upload an invoice, we verify the contents of the invoice, the vendor, and the amount paid. Since we verify each vendor, you may not see your vendor. But by simply uploading your invoice, we’ll verify the business to ensure you can report this invoice. The verification process may take a few days, so please be patient.​

2. Utility reporting – If you are linking your utility account to report to Equifax, it’s very unlikely that the utility company will not be selectable from our list of verified providers. If you experience this situation, you have the opportunity request that we verify and add your utility provider.​

Does eCredable provide business credit scores?

How does eCredable impact my credit?

Business credit profiles are made up of firmographic information and account payment histories. This information is used in the calculation of various business scores, which are used by lenders and suppliers. The presence of complete and accurate information is essential to building stronger profiles and business scores. Many vendor and suppliers do not report to business credit bureaus. eCredable empowers you to add accounts you are already making payments to, but that go unreported. ​

What types of accounts can I report?

Most non-financial accounts can be reported. The only financial account we can report on your behalf are Business Credit Cards which can be reported to D&B. The following account types are NOT ELIGIBLE to be reported:​

  • Accounts which are not paid at least quarterly​
  • Closed accounts or accounts with no payments in the prior 24 months​

How does business comparison and benchmarking work, and where does the data come from?

Benchmarking is a process where you measure your company's success against similar companies to assess the performance gap that can be closed by improving your performance. Studying other companies can illuminate what you need to focus on to enhance your company’s efficiency and profitability to become more competitive.

The data that powers benchmarking in Business Lift+ comes from the tax return data of over 30 million anonymized businesses in the United States. Your firmographic information is used to help compare the tax data of your business so that the metrics you see represent benchmarks to similar businesses.

Firmographic data is information that can be used to categorize organizations, such as geographic area, number of customers, type of organization (by NAICS code), industry, number of employees and so on.

Designations such as public or private corporations, non-profits or charitable organizations, are important and relevant data. Data such as name, address, or CEO are not part of the firmographic description of a company.Benchmarking data is based on the most recently available business tax returns from the IRS

How should I interpret the data presented in eCredable Business Lift Insights?

The 7 metrics and financial ratios included with eCredable Business Lift Insights are industry standard ratios.  Your CPA or Banker can help you better understand how to use this information.  The reason why Cash Flow is included is to reflect all your payment accounts across different financial relationships. You can also refer to this brief video which provides examples of how each ratio is calculated. ​

It’s possible that the synchronization process was interrupted due to communication error.  Try resyncing your accounting package data to see if this eliminates the issue.  If you are still having issues, contact us through our Help Center.  ​

What does my cash number represent? How is it calculated?

The historical cash number is derived from the bank account balances we see in your accounting package along with any transactions in the past. Forecasted cash is a combination of the cash balances we see along with our recurring forecast and events that you may have added. High and low projections of cash indicate the variation that may have been implied by your accounting data's transactions.

What if my account is already being reported by my service provider?

There may be instances where your service provider is already reporting your payment history to one or more of the business credit bureaus. In this case, the information provided by eCredable will not be used by the business credit bureau that is already receiving this information

How can eCredable help me build a business credit score?

eCredable Business Lift empowers you to add four different types accounts to your business credit files. You can report up to 24 months of payment history – the more history you report the bigger the impact on your business credit scores.​

1. eCredable Business Lift Subscription – Your monthly subscription is reported to D&B, Equifax and Experian. This provides you with an additional NET 30 account in your business credit files and may also help you create an initial file if you are a new business.​

2. Business Credit Cards – Not all business credit cards report to all business credit bureaus. Linking your business credit cards to eCredable Business Lift allows us to report these accounts to D&B.​

3. Vendor Invoices – There are thousands of vendor who do not report your payment activity to business credit bureaus. You can upload a business invoice that we will verify and report to D&B on your behalf.​

4. Business Utilities – If you operate your business out of a commercial building, your business utilities (gas, water, power) are eligible to be reported to Equifax.​

How do I start building a business credit score?

Start by using eCredable Business Lift to report the business bills you are already paying every month. Bills like business utilities (if you work out of a commercial facility), business services (like accounting), business credit cards, and your eCredable Business Lift subscription (which is automatically reported on your behalf).

What kind of information is contained in a business credit file?

Information such as how long you have been in business, how many locations you have, who the principals of the company are, your revenues, how many employees you have, the industry you operate in and other similar information is contained in your business credit files. In addition, how you pay your “trade credit” accounts are also reported by your trade partners. Reporting to a business credit bureau is optional, so you can’t always be sure that any or all of your trade partners will report your business credit information.

How is business credit different than personal credit?

Business credit and personal credit serve similar purposes — they both measure how reliably someone handles financial obligations — but they operate in completely different and separate systems. Personal credit is tied to an individual’s Social Security number and reflects their personal financial behavior: credit cards, auto loans, mortgages, payment history, and utilization. Business credit, on the other hand, is tied to an EIN and evaluates the financial stability and payment behavior of the business itself. It uses different scoring models, different bureaus, and different data sources, and it can grow independently of the owner’s personal credit once the business is properly established.​

The impact is also very different. Personal credit affects an individual’s ability to borrow, rent, or secure favorable rates. Business credit affects a company’s ability to get financing, negotiate vendor terms, secure insurance, lease commercial space, and build credibility with partners. Strong business credit reduces reliance on personal guarantees, lowers the cost of capital, and helps a business scale — while keeping the owner’s personal credit protected and separate.​

Why is business credit important?

Business credit is important because it gives your company its own financial identity — separate from you as the owner. With a strong business credit profile, lenders, insurers, and vendors can evaluate your company based on its performance, not your personal credit history. This separation protects your personal finances, reduces the need for personal guarantees, and helps your business qualify for better terms as it grows.​

It also directly affects your company’s ability to operate efficiently and affordably. Strong business credit can lower borrowing costs, unlock higher credit limits, improve insurance premiums, and secure better payment terms with suppliers. Over time, this creates more cash‑flow flexibility, reduces financial stress, and positions the business for expansion, hiring, and long‑term stability.​

What is business credit?

Business credit is the financial reputation of a company — a separate credit profile that reflects how reliably the business pays its bills, manages debt, and handles financial obligations. It’s tied to the business’s EIN rather than the owner’s personal Social Security number, and it’s tracked by commercial credit bureaus like Dun & Bradstreet, Experian Business, and Equifax Business.​
