What is Comenity Bank
Comenity Bank is an issuer of co-branded credit cards for retailers like BJ’s, Express, J.Crew, Ulta and Wayfair. The bank’s cards generally have no annual fees, low credit limits and lax approval requirements, making them a popular choice for people with fair to average credit.
Comenity has been helping people get more for their money since they introduced their first credit card in 1986. Today, Comenity Bank and Comenity Capital Bank partner with some of the world’s most recognized merchants, providing more than 145 branded credit programs, including private label, co-brand and commercial credit cards.
Benefits of Comenity Bank Credit Cards
In most cases, you’ll be better off opening a general rewards credit card than a Comenity co-branded store card. However, Comenity cards can be a good option if you’re trying to build credit. For shoppers loyal to one store, a co-branded or private-label store card issued by Comenity can help earn extra rewards.
Rebuild Your Credit
One of the top reasons to open a Comenity card is to help rebuild your credit. If you have a poor credit history and are unable to get approved by a traditional issuer like Chase or American Express, you may be able to get approved for a Comenity card. Comenity has traditionally had less stringent credit requirements for their store co-branded cards, since the credit limits are lower and most can only be used to buy products from a single brand.
Once you’re approved for a Comenity credit card and start paying your monthly bill, Comenity will generate a report for your account and send it to the three credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. This will help you build your credit over time, as long as you pay your bills on time and keep your credit utilization below 30%.
